GCSE Geography Scheme of Work — Year 11 (PDF)
Eighty-seven pages, and deliberately not the same shape as Year 10. The remaining content runs through autumn and spring and finishes at Easter; the last half-term is synthesis and then revision driven by evidence rather than by a topic list — sit a paper, code every question four ways, group by diagnosed need, reteach, reattempt, and measure whether it worked. Year 11 introduces no new geographical skill, which is what makes a whole term of diagnosis affordable.
- 1aCities: Growth, Form and the Advanced-Economy City

- 3aThe United Kingdom in Depth, and Geography Joined Up
- 3bRevision by Diagnosis, and the Examination
The same ten sections per unit as Year 10, so nothing has to be relearned in September — but the year is built differently, because examinations arrive before the academic year does.
Content finishes in the spring. Unit 3a is synthesis: no new material, four weeks spent connecting two years of it and learning to sustain an argument at length, opening with a blank map of the UK and twelve minutes to find out what two years actually left. Unit 3b is revision by diagnosis. A department that plans revision before the evidence exists has written a timetable; this one sits a full paper, codes every question by topic, objective, skill and command word, groups students by what the analysis shows, reteaches to that need, and then reattempts and measures. The sixth step is the one that gets skipped and the only one that proves anything.
The handover page lists exactly what this book assumes from Year 10, and what it costs if any of it is missing.
