Assessment
We follow the Edexcel modular specification (2GB01). This specification consists of four units which are assessed at various stages throughout the course;
Unit 4 is the controlled assessment component of this course.
This will be carried out in the summer term of Year 10 and consists of fieldwork and ICT-based research and presentation.
Enrichment
Fieldwork is a compulsory part of this course and students will also have the opportunity to work on Masterclasses and projects with theUniversity ofHull.
Support
The Geography department offer an open-house drop-in session most lunchtimes for Key Stage 4 students. There is always a geography teacher available and it is a perfect opportunity to ask for help with home learning, missed work or anything which you don’t understand completely.
Revision sessions are also offered on Mondays, at lunchtimes, in the weeks before an exam. After-school sessions are also available as required.
