1. ‘It’s not about fieldwork, it’s about geography, learning and a real audience’

3. There is a lack of challenge in Year 7.
Think past ’they haven’t done geography.’
They come to us as excellent writers and
thinkers.
19. Why Secondary?
Lack of genuine leadership opportunities, plenty of jobs
Curriculum - Year 8, 10, 11 - revisiting local area for the depth of
knowledge. Interleaving.
Revision for terminal examinations Memory theory – moving
beyond re-reading and the highlighter – retrieval beats re-exposure
Revision isn’t extra but an integrated part of lesson sequences
Raise expectations
New GCSE needs a deeper understanding of fieldwork, therefore
more fieldwork
20. Why Primary?
Opportunities out of school – cultural and social capital
Knowledge of local area – expanding their contextual
footprint
Writing attainment lower
Real audience is what is needed to up their game
