All students will gain a solid knowledge base of human and physical Geography. They will develop analytical and evaluative understanding of the world by discussing and writing about case studies and current issues.

What is Geography?

In this unit, students study the types of Geography, Scale, Hemispheres, Continents, Countries, Regions, Counties, and Settlements by interpreting photographs and through discussion.

Mapping

Students develop their map-reading skills using OS map extracts.

Students utilize GIS technology to enhance their core map skills. This helps them interpret the landscapes around them.

Crime

Geographers use data to spot patterns. In this topic, students will investigate local, national, and international examples of crime, analysing data and producing graphical representations.

Glaciation

Glaciated landscapes and landscape systems lie at the heart of physical geography, linking landforms to the processes that create them and linking those processes to the global environmental system that controls them. Students will learn that glaciated landscapes are widely distributed across the British Isles (and beyond).

China

Students will learn how China is changing the world. It focuses on China’s physical and human landscapes, trading, the sustainability of China's resources, and migration.

Coasts

Students will learn about coastal processes, landforms, and how these areas are used and managed by humans. Students use coastal locations close to Havant to describe and explain these management schemes.

Rivers

This unit gives students a greater understanding of how rivers shape the landscape. It includes local, national and international examples of topography and effects on humans.

Africa

This unit gives students a broad overview of the African continent. It deals with misconceptions surrounding poverty, religion, language and physical features.

Natural Hazards

This unit gives students an overview to natural hazards. It focuses on cause and effect of a number of different examples e.g. earthquakes, volcanoes and wild fires.

Ecosystems

Ecosystems and biomes lie at the heart of physical geography, linking landforms to the processes that create them, and linking those processes to the global environmental system that controls them.

Development

Development is a process all countries go through. This unit helps students understand how societies improve and are interconnected.

Russia

Russia is a country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world by area, extends across eleven time zones, and shares land boundaries with fourteen countries.

Weather and Climate

There is a difference! This unit explores the complicated and fascinating elements of metrology, from airmasses, to rain. Students will also measure the weather.

Middle East

Named by high ranking English Military figures we explore the region. Linking in trade, drought, desertification and people.

Field Work

An exciting unit made up of practical and virtual fieldwork that shows students what it is like to collect and manipulate date to apply Geography to the real world.

For all students to acquire a sound knowledge base of both human and physical Geography. To develop an analytical and evaluative understanding of the world through discussion and written responses on case studies and topical issues.

GCSE Geography

AQA 8035

This exciting and relevant course examines geography within a balanced framework of physical and human themes, exploring the connections between them.

Students will travel the world from their classroom, exploring case studies in the United Kingdom (UK), higher income countries (HICs), newly emerging economies (NEEs), and lower income countries (LICs). Topics of study include climate change, poverty, deprivation, global shifts in economic power, and the challenge of sustainable resource use. Students are also encouraged to understand their role in society by considering different viewpoints, values, and attitudes.
