OFSTED Report - Geography in Schools: Changing Practice

The report, published in January 2008, evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of geography in primary and secondary schools. At a time when geographical issues constantly make the headlines, there is some evidence of decline in provision in schools. This report shows the characteristics of good geography and fieldwork, and suggests what needs to be done to make the subject more relevant and enjoyable in all schools.

The report can be downloaded via the following link:

The GeoCitizen Project

The Citizenship Working Group provides the GeoCitizen project in order to help teachers explore citizenship issues through geography teaching from Key Stages 2-4. You can get involved by sharing your lesson ideas and doing some of the activities available on the Geographical Association's GeoCitizen Project pages. If you send in your work for the website, your class will receive a GeoCitizen award and badges!
