An A-level in Geography will provide you with a unique perspective of the world in which we live. It will provide you with the skills to critically assess the world's challenges and opportunities and determine how to best manage these to ensure long-term sustainability. Independent research skills will also be developed, which will prepare you for the rigour and academic depth of your studies at university and beyond. In Year 12, we will study the effects and management of tectonic processes, with a study day spent in the Earth Gallery of the Natural History Museum, gathering data and information about how and why people continue to live in areas at risk of these hazards. We will then further your understanding of coastal processes and their impact on the UK's coastal settlements. This will be supplemented with fieldwork, which can form the basis of your Independent Investigation. We then move on to the human geography topics with a focus on globalisation and its impacts on the world. This can be approached from a variety of perspectives, including fashion, technology and culture. We end the year with a unit on Regeneration and make use of our location in central London to investigate how local places have rebranded themselves to regenerate. Year 13 begins with a journey into the world of water. We focus on water security around the globe and how the hydrological cycle is affected by human and physical processes. Water conflict resolution and water management form an integral part of this topic. We then move on to the carbon cycle and its links with Climate Change as well as its importance for life on Earth. Energy security and alternatives to the use of carbon-based energy sources will also be discussed. In this new era of superpowers and Brexit, we study the influence of superpowers on the world's geopolitics as well as the effects of migration, identity and sovereignty on the world as we know it.
