Geography Support for Non-specialists
We’ve specifically designed our geography scheme of work with non-specialist teachers in mind. Each lesson includes clear guidance, built-in subject knowledge, and highlights key misconceptions to support teacher CPD. Everything is ready to go, so teachers can deliver lessons with confidence — even if geography isn’t their specialism.
Teachers often tell us they feel empowered and motivated after using our scheme, with a renewed confidence to improve their practice and deliver engaging, high-quality geography lessons.
How Should You Assess Geography in Primary Schools?
Assessing geography in primary schools is made simple with our engaging, child-friendly assessment resources. Styled like SATs papers, they help teachers track pupil progress in a clear and structured way. Each assessment is vibrant and visually rich, using real photos rather than illustrations to enhance pupil engagement.
For cost efficiency, they can be printed in greyscale without losing clarity. Whether used for formative assessment or to help prepare pupils for formal testing, our geography assessments provide a practical and effective solution for busy teachers.
