In an ever-changing world, it is important for students to have an understanding of the places they inhabit, the processes that cause change and the impact this has on different groups of people. Geography teaches highly sought after skills in problem-solving, managing delicate situations and data analysis. At GCSE, Geography aims to cover these issues. By looking at both Human and Physical Geography, the course intends to give students a breadth and depth of understanding of the world they live in.
