Geography Summary
Our Geography A Level allows students to connect with the world in innovative ways. The course builds on the carefully constructed KS3 and KS4 curriculum that we have at the Manor Academy and allows freedoms for enquiries in terms of the fieldwork elements of the course as well as ensuring you have a strong grasp of global human and physical geography and their interconnected impacts. This allows you to understand your place in the world as well as giving the ability to understand how the world work and how other people, cultures and societies fit into the systems that have been created. The Geography A Level at Manor focusses on an understanding of natural processes and how they impact on nations with different levels of wealth to create a strong understanding of place specificity rather than a general geography of anywhere. This includes an understanding of how climate, natural processes and hazards impact the planet differently depending on geographical location. Similarly it allows growth of understanding of how international governance and relations impact on nations with different levels of wealth and how this is leading to an ever changing world as well as how the impact of development can affect economic activity and resources in nations around the world.
