Geography A level entries up by 16.8%, among an overall rise of 5.1%.
In the absence of exams for a second year running, teacher assessed grades (TAGs) have been used to calculate students’ A level results.
Teachers were asked to base their judgements on a range of evidence of each learner’s performance in each subject, but only on content they had been taught.
This year, there was an overall increase in students taking A levels of 5.1%, but geography was a big winner, with a sizeable rise of 16.8% compared to last year.
