• EXAM BOARD: EDEXCEL • ENTRY CRITERIA: GRADE 5 GEOGRAPHY GCSE • HEAD: MISS D SURESHGAR DSURESHGAR@HAYDONSCHOOL.COM We all live our lives geographically. Planet Earth is our home. Geography is the subject which opens the door to this dynamic world and prepares each one of us for the role of global citizen in the 21st century. Geography draws from across the physical, cultural, economic, environmental and political spheres to illuminate key issues for the present and the future. Through geography we learn to appreciate the diversity. It enables us to face questions of what it means to live sustainably in an interdependent world and introduces you to a range of critical-thinking and investigative skills to help answer geo- graphical issues. CURRICULUM Year 1 - Topic 1: Tectonic Processes and Hazards; An in-depth understanding of the causes of tectonic hazards is key to both increasing the degree to which they can be managed, and put- ting in place successful responses that can mitigate social and economic impacts and allow hu- mans to adapt to hazard occurrence. Topic 2B: Coastal Landscapes and Change Coastal landscapes are increasingly threatened from physical processes and human activities, and there is a need for holistic and sustainable management of these areas in all the world’s coasts. Topic 3: Globalisation; Globalisation and global inter- dependence continue to accelerate, resulting in changing opportunities for businesses and people. Topic 4B: Diverse Places Local places vary both demographically and culturally with change driven by local, national and global processes. Year 2 Topic 5: The Water Cycle and Water Insecurity; Water insecurity is becoming a global issue with serious consequences and there is a range of different approaches to man- aging water supply. Topic 6: The Carbon Cycle and energy security. A balanced carbon cycle is important in maintaining planetary health. Topic 7: Superpowers.
