All of these topics help to build skills that are applicable both in and beyond the geography classroom:

Assessments are made at least once a term in a variety of ways: Report writing, enquiry questions, decision making, solving mysteries, map skills and exam papers. All of these prepare pupils for further study at GCSE and beyond.
