Year 10 Geography


Overview:

Geography is a popular option at GCSE. We follow the OCR syllabus A, which has 4 main themes:

i) Rivers, Coasts and Tectonics
ii) Population, Settlement and Migration
iii) Economic Activities
iv) Global Issues


These themes are assessed by two written exams worth 75% of the final grade. Coursework makes up the remaining 25% and takes the form of an investigation based on fieldwork undertaken on the Year 10 trip to the River Chess at Rickmansworth. In the summer 2006 exams, 63% of students achieved grades A*-C
