Chelsea FC and Kent Crusaders Basketball Instructions:

Students must choose three (3) different subject options from three different Option Blocks (you cannot choose the same subject more than once). If a student is selecting the Chelsea FC or Kent Crusaders options, they will need to pick 3 A Levels/BTECS to study alongside this. Students should ensure they are predicted or have achieved grades that meet the entry criteria for chosen options by consulting the UKAT Sixth Form Course booklet. The blocking structure can be amended dependent on course sign up and other timetabling factors.

Students explore a wide range of contemporary global issues through the study of both physical and human geography. The course focuses on the inter-relationships between people and the environment, helping students develop a strong understanding of places, processes, and global challenges. The course is divided into three key areas. Physical Geography covers topics such as glacial landscapes, water and carbon cycles, and natural hazards. Human Geography explores changing places, global governance, and the relationship between population and the environment. The third component is a Non-Examined Assessment (NEA)—an independent geographical investigation on a topic of the student’s choice.

Assessment consists of three external exams worth 80% of the final grade, with the NEA making up the remaining 20%. Grades are awarded from A* to E.

A Levels: 5 GCSEs at grade 5-9, including English and mathematics and grade 6 in Geography.

This qualification provides between 16 and 56 UCAS points and is highly valued by universities and employers. Geography opens the door to a wide range of careers, including environmental consultancy, conservation, town planning, surveying, seismology, volcanology, accountancy, travel and tourism, and retail or business management.
