the geographical knowledge and skills that pupils need: every 
double-page spread represents a lesson, with rich geographical data and

 firm foundations for GCSE: key vocabulary, command words and concepts 
are introduced gradually, preparing pupils for the content and question 
types they will encounter at GCSE, with a particular focus on analysis

demonstrate progress: formative assessments throughout each lesson and 
summative end-of-unit reviews include questions that show whether pupils
 are 'working towards', 'meeting' or 'exceeding' expectations

objectives and end-of-unit learning outcomes help pupils reflect on 
their learning and make connections between key concepts and skills 
throughout the course
