Geography Step 9 9 Pupils can identify, describe and recall characteristics of physical and human environments and relate these to geographical concepts across a range of settings. Key geographical terminology can be defined but it is not regularly used effectively in their own writing. There may be problems using technical terms outside of the context they have been learnt. Pupils demonstrate a complete understanding of basic geographical processes. They establish their own sequences and can apply their understanding to similar situations/contexts.

Decisions take into account geographical trends and patterns but are still often based on their own opinions. Pupils are able to offer a basic evaluation of the costs and benefits of a decision but the analysis will concentrate on small scale and immediate effects.
