Useful tips and resources
Geography is an ever-evolving subject and the best Geographers are those who have a good understanding of what is going on in the world around them. The best way to become a better Geographer is to develop an interest in the wider world.

What super curricular activities can KS3 students engage with at school?
Self-directed wider reading is an expectation of A Level Geography.
In the A Level Geography Resources Team there is a folder of GeoFactsheets, separated by topic, which are an excellent starting point to develop the breadth and depth of your Geographical understanding. There is also a good list on Internet Geography
