Progress in Geography: Key Stage 3, Second Edition

Progress in Geography: Key Stage 3, Second Edition was awarded the Highly Commended Publishers' Award by the GA in 2025, along with the accompanying Curriculum Handbook.

Put progression at the heart of your curriculum with this hugely popular KS3 course from David Gardner, a leading authority in the Geography community.

Fully reviewed and updated - with three new units - this forward-thinking course will fascinate young geographers, incorporating many diverse voices and exploring 'big ideas' such as place, the Earth's systems, the impact of colonialism and the complexities of development.

> Choose the most cost-effective course. With 180 ready-made lessons in a single book, Progress in Geography provides a full three-year KS3. The free accompanying Progression Framework maps progress from Year 7 to Year 9, across the National Curriculum and towards the GCSE Assessment Objectives.

> Ensure progress in geographical skills, knowledge and understanding. Every lesson and every unit builds upon prior learning and links to future learning, fully embedding geographical enquiry. Each double-page spread represents one lesson, with rich geographical resources, up-to-date data and case studies for pupils to interpret, analyse and evaluate.

> Align with Ofsted's expectations. 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.
