What the college says

Geography is taught by experienced members of staff with nine lessons taught per fortnight in Year 12 and 13, and is split between the Sir John Colfox Academy and Beaminster School. Students will gain an insight into global issues, natural cycles, hazards and conflict. Candidates will also develop a variety of geographical skills, which will broaden and deepen existing knowledge and be employed with a greater degree of independence. Fieldwork is at the core, on both units, but there are also opportunities to develop further skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. At A level we believe students need a broad understanding of key aspects of both physical and human geography.In Year 13, the concepts, themes and skills from Year 12 are extended and developed in different settings, taking in contemporary issues, challenges and conflicts. Unit 1 and 2 offer a wide range of topics and content and there is also a choice on both papers.Students will demonstrate their skills in geographical research and enquiry in an exciting and stimulating manner in the field. This fresh, modern course, with updated and topical content will appeal to students and give them a broad science and art based course that is recognised by the best universities in the country.
