Geology (KS5):
After GCSE Geology, students get the chance to carry on studying to AS/A2 level. In Geological terms the aims of the A level programmes are as follows:
* To foster an understanding of the nature and scope of
Geology
* To encourage the appreciation of the relevance of
geology to everyday life and Industry
* To develop an understanding of the link between theory
and experiment
The course is modular based with 3 modules covered at AS level and a further 3 at A2 level.
Fieldwork continues to play an important role, and in the AS/A2 course a minimum of one week of fieldwork is undertaken. In Lower sixth the fieldwork is done in Anglesey in various locations. The fieldwork is centred on tectonic activity in the Rhosneigr area, and the students study and examine fold structures in outcrops on the beach.
In the second year (A2), the fieldwork is done in Cornwall, investigating the stratigraphy of Britain and how it can be traced from the rocks in the local area.
