Geography assessment grids from Year 1 to 6 that can be used to check children's understanding and use as a progress measure if wished. These are to be used as best fit as there may be some areas they are weaker/ more confident in with the aim being a best fit judgement. I created these as there appears to be a gap in geography assessment at the minute in primary schools since the move to assessment without levels. This enables schools to have something in place for a foundation subject that links well to other curricular areas, as well as showing an assessment system should visitors wish to know how you monitor progress.

A fully resourced unit of work that compares the U.K, Spain and Canada.

Also included are Geography assessment grids for each year group that work as best fit assessments.

Both assessments are uploaded separately but have been uploaded together for ease where people want both.
