What the college says

At A Level all students will study core human and physical geography. In each area of study, students will consider their own values and attitudes to the issues being studied and support their learning of ideas through the study of specific case studies. Students will also develop a variety of geographical skills, which will broaden and deepen existing knowledge and be employed with a greater degree of independence. It is expected that the department staff will use a range of appropriate teaching skills for whole group lectures, as well as tutorial style work for individuals and small groups. Pupils will be encouraged to learn through independent work which will be structured to include ICT and practical work. Fieldwork and research skills are a mandatory part of the course in order to be able to produce a fieldwork project and undertake an issue evaluation exercise. It is anticipated that two experienced KS5 geography teachers will be attached to each group.
