New policy, new challenges

Thanks to the English Baccalaureate, many schools are giving geography more space in the timetable and encouraging more students to take the subject at GCSE. This is good news for geography teachers, but it does also mean that many geography and humanities departments are facing an increased workload.

Extensive resources, excellent value

KS3 Geography Network Resources is a collection of copiable materials that can save time and money for overstretched departments. In all, it contains 14 separate publications, including:

• homework assignments
• skills-based materials
• units for thematic studies

• posters for students to make and display
• activities for cover lessons
