This new course takes a unique approach to providing the strong foundations and skills practice students need to prepare them for study of the AQA GCSE specification. Topical, relevant content will enthuse students and help to build essential knowledge and understanding.

Coverage is mapped to both the KS3 Programme of Study and the AQA GCSE specification, so you can be sure that the course delivers a varied and relevant scheme of work designed to provide the perfect preparation for the increased demands of AQA GCSE.

Support for embedding a deep understanding of geographical skills, including fieldwork, is integrated throughout. Dedicated Skills Focus units provide extended practice on particular skills that students often find challenging.

Colourful, attractive page design and accessible language will spark your students' interest. The course includes coverage of key human and physical geography topics, with high-quality photos, maps and diagrams throughout.

Carefully structured and progressively challenging activities on each spread help build a strong knowledge base and consolidate understanding. Challenge activities promote independent research and provide stretch.

Specially designed to support the teaching of a two-year KS3 and written with reference to the 2018 examiner reports, you can be confident that this course reflects a real understanding of what is required for success at GCSE level.

Answers to all activities are included in the Teacher Handbook.
