Geography

Geography encourages ways of seeing and thinking that make geographers eminently employable.  Recent reports described it as ‘the must-have A leve’. Never before has your planet needed your geographical skills more to help understand and tackle issues of such global concern, from global warming to migration and the refugee crisis, from urban management to plastics in the oceans, dynamic volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It does far more than simply analyse places, it places them in a broad social, environmental and economic context. ‘Geography takes you places’:  fieldwork, both Human and Physical, is a compulsory component of this course.  We aim to offer residential fieldwork in the UK, North Wales in the autumn of Year 12, Essex coast in the summer of Year 12 and human fieldwork in the summer of Year 12, and the popular Iceland field trip during Easter 2022.
