Our current plans for the new specification involve relevant modern topics, a focus on fieldwork and will inspire a love of geography for long life learning. In year 12 the course examines landscape systems, where students will learn about the surface processes of coastal systems and the future impact that climate change will have on them globally. Students will explore the relationships and connections that exist between people, the economy, society and how these contribute to creating places; from street level, cultural quarters to global cities.Students will also debate relevant and dynamic topics such as disease dilemmas. With diseases such as those seen in West Africa it is crucial that we understand the global nature of the risk and how we should respond together into the future.Fieldwork is a common feature throughout both year 12 and 13 with numerous day trips and residential based weekends. Students in year 12 will be assessed via examination on their fieldwork skills, in year 13 examinations and an independent investigation will assess their fieldwork skills.During year 13 students will continue their Geographical debating studying the hazardous earth (Seismicity and volcanology). Students will also study Earth’s life support systems and global connections. Earth’s life support systems include both the carbon cycle and our ever changing water cycles the physical and increasingly human based changes on these systems are leading to a global need to find solutions to the problems these changes are making.Global connections allow learners to explore the processes and flows that occur at the global level, and the ways in which these influence people, places and institutions.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4. Students applying to the 6 th Form without GCSEs but with an equivalent qualification must provide confirmation from their most recent educational establishment of courses studied, levels of attainment and equivalent grades with reference to GCSE grades 9 to 1. Additional Requirements: Students will need at least a Grade 5 in GCSE Geography. Students who have not studies the subject before will require a Grade 6 English Language GCSE.
There will be four aspects of assessment: • Paper 1 will look at the physical systems studied: Landscape Systems and Earth’s Life Support Systems as well as Geographical Skills. The examination will be a 1 hour and 30 minute paper representing 22% of the total A Level.• Paper 2 will look at the human interactions studied: Changing Spaces; Making Places, Global Connections, and Geographical Skills. The examination will be a 1 hour and 30 minute paper representing 22% of the total A Level.• Paper 3 will assess the Geographical Debates studied (health and tectonics) and will last 2 hours and 30 minutes representing 36% of the course.• The final section forms an independent investigation which students will carry out which is out of 60 marks and willrepresent 20% of their final mark.
