Welcome to the Geography A-level transition page.

Below you will find the task sheets to complete both the Physical and Human Summer work.  You must hand in all the work on the first school day in September.

You will also find links to various resources which will help you during your geography course.  Get used to using Firefly regularly and there are lots and lots of different resources, tasks, links and videos to help you achieve the best possible result.

Transition work tasks

There are two separate task sheets for you to complete, one the physical side of the course and one for the human side.  You need to complete both tasks.

 It is very important to complete all of the work below before starting the course in September.  Not only does it give an idea of the type of work involved it will also help your understanding of the first sections of the course.
