Primary Geography Subject Leader Network (PGSLN) meeting

The second of six meetings (virtual and in situ) that are scheduled for this academic year (2026-2027). Why not come and join us for the second Primary Geography Subject Leader Network (PGSLN) meeting of this academic year? Following the usual welcome and introductions, we will begin with an ‘educational round-up’ of themes and issues currently being discussed, useful websites, the latest resources, opportunities for pupils, CPD events, competitions and the many FREEBIES on offer! Time will be built in to explore some of these links and recommendations. The main part of the meeting will have input from Dr Rebecca Kitchen, Head of Professional Development at the Geographical Association (GA), the Department for Education (DfE)'s appointed Curriculum Drafter for Geography. Becky will relay key messages relating to the proposed new National Curriculum. She will spend time exploring disciplinary knowledge in some depth, before guiding you on your next steps in terms of curriculum planning and development for this academic year and beyond. In addition to having opportunities to interact with others by means of various activities and open discussions, you will be able to ask questions. It is hoped that you will not only enhance your understanding of your role and responsibilities as an effective Geography Subject Leader, but also gain further ideas to support your continued whole school curriculum planning and development. The meeting will conclude with a period of reflection; time to identify the key takeaways and your next steps for this term and beyond, plus give some feedback via an online form.
