Geography is unique in its position as a bridge between the Arts and the Sciences. It allows the “science” specialist to develop important literary skills and the “arts” specialist to develop important numeracy and graphical skills. It is especially attractive to those who want to maintain links with the “real world” outside the classroom. The course focuses on the rapidly changing world around us and concentrates on the relationship between people and their environments. In studying it you will discuss, critically, many controversial issues such as growing cities, energy resources and world food supply. In Year 13 students cover their A2 course. This is balanced between Physical Geography (Plate Tectonics/Weather and Climate) and Human Geography (World Cities/Globalisation) with one teacher for each part. Students are assessed by a 2.5 hour content focused exam and a 1.5 hour exam on a variable topic for which pre-release material and lots of help in school is provided.
