The Big Staff Meeting Series 2025-26 - Geography
- Progression in geographical enquiry and fieldwork in geography
Geographical enquiry and fieldwork are essential elements of a geography curriculum but can be tricky to plan for. Join us for this online staff meeting, ‘Progression in Geographical Enquiry and Fieldwork in Geography’ to discover how to plan effectively for progression in this important area of the geography curriculum.
This session will focus on equipping teachers with practical strategies to enhance students' geographical skills, enabling them to ask questions, investigate, and interpret the world around them.
We will explore how to structure fieldwork and enquiry activities in geography to ensure clear progression across year groups, while fostering curiosity and critical thinking. Whether it's analysing maps, collecting data, or observing features in the school grounds, you'll gain tools and techniques to ensure progression in learning and to help pupils engage with geography in meaningful and hands-on ways.
