Secondary Geography Quality Mark

One of the most interesting tasks that I spend several days doing, several times each year, is as part of the team moderating the applications for the Geographical Association's Secondary Geography Quality Mark.
The latest schools to be awarded the mark for 2009 are listed below.

Congratulations to those schools that have been awarded the Secondary Geography Quality Mark in the latest round of moderation.
The moderation team saw some excellent examples of quality geography in schools around the country.

I hope to visit some of these schools in the coming year, or meet with some of the teachers in the departments that have been recognised.

The list of schools for 2009 is below.
The schools with an asterisk have additionally gained the status of "Centre of Excellence"
