most pupils: know how to use geographical skills to undertake a survey of the school grounds. They discuss the results with a range of interested groups and individuals and analyse their findings. They devise strategies for improvement and take responsibility for implementing them according to an agreed plan. They reflect on their participation and identify what worked well and what didn't. They understand how conflicting demands arise in their school grounds and recognise different approaches to managing the project.
some pupils have not made so much progress and: know how to make a map of the school grounds that shows key features. They identify and discuss aspects that they would like to improve. They recognise that different groups of pupils and others use the school grounds in different ways. They suggest how the improvements can be made and take these forward according to an agreed plan. They reflect on how the process went.
some pupils have progressed further and: know how to use and apply geographical skills to produce a detailed survey of the school grounds. They plan a programme of enquiry, consultation and research that identifies and involves the key stakeholders in the community and agree how to carry out the programme. They discuss a range of strategies for improvement, providing detailed analysis of the pros and cons of each and identifying the plan that best addresses the needs of individuals and communities. They consider and appreciate that sustainable development affects the planning and management of the school grounds. They democratically agree a way forward and take responsibility for implementing the agreed plan.
