"Year 12: In the first year of study you will have 2 subject specialists and be taught Natural Hazards, Water and the Carbon Cycle, Changing Places and Hot Deserts. You will also be taught about Geographical fieldwork and start your Non Examined Assessment (NEA). The two taught components in A Level Geography are: Component 1: Physical geography and people and the environment. This unit uses a systems approach to the study of water and carbon cycles with opportunities to exercise and develop geographical skills, including geospatial mapping. Hazards form the content of the people and the environment section of this paper. By exploring the origin and nature of these hazards and the various ways in which people respond to them, students are able to engage with many dimensions of the relationships between people and the environments they occupy. Component 2: Human geography and geography fieldwork investigation. This unit examines people’s engagement with places, their experience of them and the qualities they ascribe to them. It covers the nature and importance of places, changing places – in terms of relationships, connections, meaning and representation. Year 13: By now you will have competed over 60% of the course. In the second year of study, candidates develop the physical and human geography studied in Year 12, considering physical processes and concepts in human geography. There are two teacher-led units which are: ·Component 1 Physical geography: Population and the Environment ·Component 2 Human geography: Global systems and global governance Geography is a diverse and comprehensive subject that provides us with an understanding of our changing and interconnected world. It involves the study of physical environments and resources; cultures, economies and societies; people and places; and global development and citizenship. As an academic subject it is valued by universities and a very broad range of employers because it provides a context for looking at contemporary issues from a wide perspective. These issues affect us all at work and in our daily lives and help inform the decisions that will shape our future. In addition, a study of geography develops many relevant and transferable skills directly related to a wide range of careers. The subject: Stimulates an interest in places, people and the environment. Helps young people make sense of a complex and dynamically changing world and how society, the economy and environment combine to bring about change. Explains where places are, how places and landscapes are formed, how people and their environment interact. Explores how a diverse range of economies, societies and environments are interconnected. Examines natural resources and their sustainable use."
students entering the Sixth Form should have a minimum of 5 x grade 5+ at GCSE. If students do not possess at least a grade 5 in English and / or Maths they will be expected to study for these qualifications as part of their post-16 course selection. additional entry criteria: 6+ in Geography, or if not studied at GCSE 6+ in English Literature. Average Point score of 5.5+
At the end of the second year you will sit 2 two and a half hour examinations for Component 1 and Component 2 which are worth 40% of the course. The Geography fieldwork investigation accounts for 20%.
