• Students will have a knowledge organiser for each of their schemes of learning. Students can use these to test themselves on the core content throughout the term.

• Question your child on what they have learnt in lesson and take an active interest in what they have been learning.

• Encourage them to watch the news regularly to keep up to date with the latest weather events, migration and developmental news. Ask them questions about how the latest news ties into their geography lessons.

• Students at KS3 receive one piece of additional learning per fortnight. This is always based upon recent geographical events taking place in the news. For example, the Californian wildfires in January 2025. This piece of work is literacy focused, whereby students must read an extract then answer questions to check their understanding
.
• Students at KS4 receive one exam style additional learning per week. They range from low stake exam questions to high stake exam questions. These aim to test pre-requisite knowledge from previous topics they have studied in lessons. These are then marked on a weekly basis so that students are given specific feedback and made aware of how they can further improve their answers.
