Introduction

Following the success of the 2009 and 2010 Primary National Conferences, we will be running the events again in 2011. The Conferences will take place during June in Sheffield and Birmingham - dates and programme details will be published soon.

Our Primary National Conference aims to help primary teachers think creatively about geography and how it can support learning across the wider curriculum.


'Lots of fantastic ideas that I can directly input into the classroom'

'I can't wait to develop the curriculum'

'Thoroughly enjoyable sessions and very thought-provoking'
