GCSE 2012 Geography A is now fully accredited!

You're probably aware of Ofqual's recent announcement of a full accreditation review and strengthening of GCSE Geography specifications across all exam boards. We're delighted to announce that our Geography A linear specification (2GA01) has now been fully accredited by Ofqual. Our draft accredited specification is now available for you to download on the GCSE Geography A page.

Key changes to the specification are as follows:

  • Overall topic content relatively unchanged
  • Structure of Unit 1 unchanged
  • Structure of Units 2 and 3 changed to a compulsory ‘core’ of three of the existing topics in section A, but no change to the choice of Section B options
  • Section B options have been tightened to improve equivalency
  • Structure of Unit 4 largely unchanged.

For more information about our GCSE Geography A specification, download the information sheet.
