Head of Department: Mr Marshall
Geography is a wise choice for any student; it develops skills employers want in young people today such as enquiry; analysis; decision making; extended writing; interpretation of evidence; presenting; and evaluation. It is not an ‘easy’ option and students will be expected to have achieved a grade C or above in their GCSE Geography.
We follow AQA AS and A2 Geography course.
