Case Study Revision on Developing Answers

Remember: It is important to know specific facts and figures for case studies so that you can give yourself a chance of gaining a top level 3 answer. However, it is often forgotten that if you do not include three developed ideas in case studies then you can not even get beyond level 2, even if you know all the facts and figures about a particular case study.

Year 11 Intervention Sessions

There are two exams for Geography to prepare for. The Key Geographical Themes exam is 1 hour 45 minutes and you need to revise Rivers, Coasts, Population, Settlement and Natural Hazards (both tectonic hazards and climatic hazards).

The SDME exam is 1 hour 30 minutes and will test your decision making skills of a sustainable development issue on the topic of Economic Development.

Intervention sessions will take place every Wednesday lunch, Friday lunch and Friday after school. If you have received an invite you must attend one of these sessions each week.

Shape the Future Competition

We gave our Year 8 students the chance to have their say on the new global strategy for development from 2015 and decided to enter the Shape the Future competition.

Our students worked extremely hard, both in Geography lessons and in after school sessions to review the Millennium Development Goals and come up with their own goals. This was our winning entry that has been entered into the competition.....
