Geography

A-level Geography offers a natural progression from GCSE.  This engaging and flexible course gives students the opportunity to engage with the relationship of human populations with each other over space and time. It is also an opportunity to explore the relationships human populations have made with their physical environments, locally and globally. Students will also begin to consider their own geographical role in relation to themes and issues being studied.
