We will be making recordings of these events available for teachers who can’t attend.

From June 2026, we’ll be asking you to submit a slightly larger sample size for moderation in qualifications with coursework/NEA such as A level Geography. This change is designed to make moderation smoother and reduce the need for additional sample requests later in the year.

If you teach year 11 (England, Wales and the Crown Dependencies), 12 (Northern Ireland) or S4 (Scotland) or have contact with those who do, please encourage them to participate in this year's Royal Meteorological Society Climate Literacy Survey to help us get a picture of the evolving climate literacy of school leavers.

Ofqual consultation for on-screen assessment

Ofqual has launched a consultation on proposals for how on-screen assessment should be regulated in GCSEs, AS and A levels in England. Whilst they propose a controlled introduction of on-screen assessment, pen-and-paper will remain central to most exams.

As teachers working directly with students, you understand their needs and the challenges this proposal may present.

Your opinion counts. The consultation closes on 5 March 2026. Please take a look and have your say.

Our brand-new 2nd edition A level Geography textbooks, publishing in early 2026, bring the world into your classroom. Updated with the latest data and global events, these books make geography relevant and exciting.  The two textbooks offer complete coverage of the Pearson Edexcel AS and A level Geography specifications with an issues-based approach to contemporary geographical themes. 

• Stay ahead with comprehensive coverage of the Pearson Edexcel specification.
• Engage learners through real-world case studies, clear diagrams, and synoptic links.
• Thinking Synoptically pages use interesting material to challenge your knowledge and understanding.
• Support success with fieldwork guidance and activities that develop essential skills for higher achievement.
