Current affairs, written for the geography classroom

What we do

Each week our editors select a story with genuine geographical substance: a hazard event, a water or energy decision, a migration pattern, a piece of trade geopolitics. We write an original summary of that story, place it in physical and human context, connect it to the specification a teacher is actually working through, and turn it into a six-page discussion pack that can be printed and taught the same morning.

Editorial standards

• Original writing. We never reproduce publisher copy. Every summary is written from scratch and attributed to the reporting it draws on.
• Verified figures. Statistics carry a verification status and are traced to a named primary source, with the access date recorded.
• Balanced framing. Contested issues are presented through stakeholder positions rather than a single conclusion, so students argue from evidence.
• Image rights. Photographs are used only where the licence permits educational reproduction, and the rights status is printed with the credit.

Who writes the briefs

Briefs are written and reviewed by geography teachers and examiners with classroom experience across Cambridge International, Edexcel and AQA specifications. Every pack is checked by a second reader before it is published.

Working with departments

Departments can request coverage of particular specification areas ahead of mock seasons, and receive invoiced billing against a school purchase order. Write to us and we will get back to you within two working days.
