Key Stage 4 Geography
Geography Home, KS3, KS4, 6th Form
Head of Department: Mr Marshall
From September 2009, we have followed WJEC syllabus B for all new Geographers (the current Year 11 Geographers will continue to study OCR B Avery Hill).
The specification consists of three themes:
- Challenges of living in a built environment
- People and the natural world interactions
- People, work and development
These themes will be examined at the end of the two year course which will contribute towards 30% of the final grade.
Students will also develop their decision-making skills and will be examined by the ‘Development and Problem Solving’ written paper (45%) in the second year of the course.
The final 25% of the GCSE is derived from a ‘Controlled assessment’ which provides students with the opportunity to investigate processes in the real world and research contemporary issues.
