GeoLincs - 18th March 2026

Via LinkedIn from Aidan Hesslewood, who is a fellow moderator on the GA's Secondary Geography Quality Mark moderation team.

The second Geolincs session of this academic year is approaching, and we have Richard Bustin and Alan Parkinson coming along to share lots of important ideas: Wednesday 18th March, from 1400-1700 (light refreshments included) at Spalding Grammar School.

I’m really excited to welcome Alan back to the branch (he last spoke in 2015) and to Richard for the first time, and I hope you can join us for a stimulating afternoon of geography curriculum discussion, particularly in light of upcoming reforms. This session will be suitable for all: student teachers, teachers, subject leads, and senior leaders.

Feel free to message me here if you'd like to come along.

Geolincs (the GA branch for South Lincs and surrounding counties) aims to sustain excellence in geography education in Lincolnshire and the surrounding counties. It is a non-profit network that provides opportunities for professional growth and events are completely free to attend. 

It endeavours to:
· Explore and develop teaching expertise and subject knowledge
· Share ideas through participation and networking
· Provide a forum for debate and discussion

Here's the title slide from my presentation. Hope to see some of you there.

Disaster by Choice

A new forthcoming unit written by Kit Marie Rackley is part of a new project by Mary Myatt. 

Mary is a consultant and speaker and wrote the book 'The Curriculum: Gallimaufry to coherence'. Details here in a video - subscription is required to view some of the resources, but some are free to access.

Login to see these resources, although not all of the download links seems to work. 

They can be read online at the moment...

Provide a school email address and you will have access to the booklets as they go live.

At the moment, there's also one based on the Tim Marshall book 'Prisoners of Geography' and also one from Daryl Sinclair - who I worked with on the forthcoming 'Discover Geography' series - on 'Geographies of Hope'.
