Geography is taught to all girls in Years 7, 8 and 9. It is then an option at both GCSE and A Level.<\/p>

In Years 7 to 9, the girls explore topics such as the Middle East, glaciation, and oceans. We make use of our beautiful grounds to complete fieldwork during lessons, exploring microclimates and parks. The girls also go on an annual field trip.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At GCSE, pupils follow the Edexcel A course, which covers both physical and human geography. Physical geography includes the study of coastal and river landscapes, weather hazards and climate change, and biodiversity and management. The course also involves a field trip to Juniper Hall where the girls complete a rivers study as part of their Investigations unit. Human geography looks at topics such as cities, global development, and resource management, and involves a field trip to the Field Studies Council in London\u2019s Olympic Park that leads to an investigation on the impact of regeneration.<\/p>

At A Level, pupils follow the Edexcel course. A variety of topics are studied, including tectonic processes and hazards, coastal landscapes, the water cycle, the carbon cycle and energy security. This leads on to the study of superpowers, global development, migration, identity and sovereignty. The course also involves a four-day residential field trip, where the girls complete an independent study of either a human or physical topic of their choice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Trips and fieldwork are an essential part of the study of Geography. Year 7 go on a trip to the Henley Rowing and River Museum. Year 8 visit Oxford to investigate the impact of tourism. Year 9 go to the south Dorset coast to study the physical processes which shape the landscape. As part of their A Level course, pupils must undertake an independent investigation. They design their own methodologies and collect data on a human or physical topic and location of their choice. This work constitutes their non-examined assessment.<\/p>

Sixth Form girls attend the Institute of Education geography lectures at UCL, and the geographical society, GeogSquad, offers girls from all years the opportunity to take part in competitions, such as WorldWise Quizzes and the national Young Geographer of the Year competition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
