The most important facet of our lives is the natural world, and the relationship different groups of people have with it, in short, the interaction between Physical Geography and Human Geography. The sustainability of our Earth could not be more vital and studying Geography will give you an understanding of the complex nature of our relationship with the very planet on which you live.
WHAT YOU WILL STUDY
WHAT YOU WILL STUDY
Year 12
Physical Geography will begin with Hazardous Earth (with tectonic hazards being the focus), followed by Physical Systems: Coasts.
Human Geography begins with Disease Dilemmas looking at a range of communicable and non communicable diseases around the globe. This is followed by Changing Spaces; Making Places (which includes topics such as social inequality, economic change and regeneration).
In the final term you will begin your Non-Examined Assessment which is an independent investigation (including an individual method, data collection and presentation, analysis, conclusion and evaluation). This is where the 4 days of fieldwork will take place - where we go depends on the content of your investigation as you will work in groups to collect data for each other.
Year 13 This year begins with students completing their independent investigation (NEA). Physical Geography then follows this with Earth’s Life Support Systems (which includes the water and carbon cycles and their importance to life on Earth). Human Geography study includes Global Connections (focusing on global migration and human rights). There will be time at the end of the course for revision and exam practice.
