Highly Commended in the GA Publishers' Awards 2021: "This comprehensive resource has been designed to work alongside Progress in Geography and uses the same format and recognisable layout. It can also be used as a standalone text and is packed full of resources, well-framed activities, support and practice to help students to develop key geographical skills and think critically about what they're learning. The judges also felt it could be a useful reference for non-specialists and trainee teachers." This book is designed to help students build up and apply geographical skills throughout KS3.

These skills are progressed as an integral component of an enquiry process. The book provides a firm foundation for the geographical skills required at GCSE level and beyond.

Curriculum expert David Gardner has fully integrated disciplinary, substantive and procedural knowledge, as recommended in Ofsted's 2023 Geography Subject Report and the GA Curriculum Framework. Assess and demonstrate pupil progress. Ideal for formative assessment, lesson activities create a stepped approach to enquiry learning, guiding pupils through the geographical data as they answer each lesson's enquiry question. End-of-unit review lessons create a reflection point, facilitating medium-term summative assessment and giving a broader view of progress. Lay firm foundations for GCSE. Key vocabulary, command words and concepts are introduced gradually, preparing pupils for the content and question types they will encounter at GCSE, with a particular focus on analysis and evaluation, plus newly added decision-making activities.
