Our Review

This comprehensive guide delivers exactly what educators need to navigate the post-1995 Revised Order geography curriculum, offering a robust framework for primary school teaching. The text is substantially revised to address the major implications of the new standards, providing clear examples and practical strategies for curriculum organization. With two new chapters dedicated to the expanding early years sector and the realities of OFSTED inspections, it tackles the most current pressures facing teachers today. The updated and expanded resources section makes this an indispensable toolkit for planning and instruction.

What sets this guide apart is its unwavering focus on classroom application over theoretical abstraction, discussing a whole range of curriculum models with tangible examples. It will prove most valuable for primary school teachers and trainee educators seeking a grounded, authoritative resource to build confidence and competence in their geography teaching. This is the kind of foundational text that doesn't just sit on a shelf but becomes a well-thumbed companion, directly shaping effective and inspected-ready lessons.
