One year in: Teaching the new Cambridge IGCSE Geography syllabus

A year into the redesigned Cambridge IGCSE Geography 0460/0976 syllabus, year-2 teachers are at the most consequential point of the cycle. Two terms remain until the May 2027 examinations, and the choices made between now and the mocks will shape what students walk into the exam hall knowing, and how confident they feel doing it.

The first of two 90-minute sessions is built for reflection and implementation. Matt and Jonathan share updated teaching materials and the assessment resources developed to support mock examinations, then open up a structured review of what has been taught so far and where colleagues are up to across the cohort, surfacing practical strategies for covering ground quickly in the physical units.

The second session goes deep on the 5- and 7-mark evaluative questions and on resourcing the questions that demand map skills. Matt and Jonathan also share feedback on coursework completion and discuss the structural changes that affect how the coursework comes together under the new cycle.

Leave with practical tools, sequencing strategies, and assessment resources, plus access to a shared Google Drive of collaborative teaching and assessment materials, free to take, adapt, and use in your own school context.
