Dr Becky Kitchen, Head of Professional Development, said:
‘We are absolutely delighted to award Geography Quality Mark status to schools in our 2025 cohort. The quality of curriculum thinking, creative teaching and the impacts evident in the submissions was impressive, as was the ability of the quality mark framework to support school and departmental improvement. Many congratulations to all of those schools who have been awarded.’
Jon Cannell, Primary Curriculum Lead, said:
‘Congratulations to this years’ Primary Geography Quality Mark awardees. The moderation team were blown away by both the level of improvement seen across returning schools and the overall high standard of the submissions this year. We were delighted to witness such rich evidence showcasing that our pupils are being supported to act, write and speak as geographers who connect with, care for and challenge the single stories of people and place’
