Geography - KS4

For Geography GCSE, we study the Edexcel B specification. We have chosen this specification because this GCSE course will deepen understanding of geographical processes, illuminate the impact of change and of complex people-environment interactions, highlight the dynamic links and interrelationships between places and environments at different scales, and develop students’ competence in using a wide range of geographical investigative skills and approaches. By the end of Key Stage 4, students should know a range of geographical processes. Physical processes include erosion, transportation, and deposition when considering fluvial geography. In terms of human geography, students should understand the development of countries socially, economically, and environmentally and be able to apply these processes globally as well as domestically. Students should be also regularly and successfully applying knowledge to appropriate exam structure and confidently know what is required to achieve maximum marks when undertaking exams. Students should confidently be able to assess. Core order skills such as explaining and describing will filter down. In addition, students should be able to make links across the wider school to meet requirements for numerical interpretation in exams.
