GeographyKS5

The AQA A level Geography course balances traditional geography with contemporary and engaging geographical subject content. Key themes are management of change and sustainability. It encourages students to reflect on why they think the way they do about an issue, as well as how others think, skills that are vital for citizens in the 21st century.

The specification allows students to extend and exercise their geographical skills. Fieldwork is at the core of this, both at AS and A2, but there are also opportunities to develop further skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

At AS we believe students need a broad understanding of key aspects of both physical and human geography.

At A2, the concepts, themes and skills from AS are extended and developed in different settings, taking in contemporary issues, challenge and conflicts.
