Free updated topical A level Place Contexts (Case Studies)

Download free topical place contexts (case studies)
We’ve worked with A level Geography teachers from diverse backgrounds to create 12 new place-context examples aligned to the Pearson Edexcel A level Geography specification. These can be used by learners to study the specification content in context. The suggestions are not compulsory – any similar suitable context can be chosen. These examples are free to download and intentionally and significantly include perspectives of people who are under-represented and historically-marginalised so that all our learners can benefit from this positive representation.
