A complete Year 7 Geography Baseline Assessment Toolkit for assessing pupils’ geographical knowledge and skills as they begin secondary school.

The toolkit combines a professionally designed 50-mark baseline assessment, full teacher mark scheme and dedicated Excel assessment tracker, allowing teachers to assess pupils and immediately analyse strengths, gaps and intervention priorities.

The assessment is primarily based on the Key Stage 2 Geography National Curriculum and uses accessible Year 7-entry wording, maps, diagrams and geographical images. It covers five key areas: Places & Locations, Map & Fieldwork Skills, Physical Geography, People, Settlements & Resources, and Using Geographical Information.

Performance bands are intended for internal diagnostic use and are not nationally standardised grades.
