“Steps to Success” – Environmental Relationships and Issues
LV8 - .. recognise the causes and consequences of
environmental issues … understand how considerations of
sustainable development can effect their own lives as well as
the planning and management of environments and
resources … use examples to illustrate this.
LV7 - .. understand that many factors, including people’s values
and attitudes, influence decisions about places and environments
… recognise the causes and consequences of environmental
issues … understand how considerations of sustainable
development can effect their own lives as well as the planning
and management of environments and resources.
LV6 - ..recognise how conflicting demands on the environment may
arise and describe and compare different approaches to managing
environments
LV5 - .. offer explanations for ways in which human activities affect the
environment and recognise the different ways that people manage
environments in a sustainable way

LV2 - .. recognise how people affect the environment of a locality
LV1 - .. express views on features of the environment of a locality
“Steps to Success” – Geographical Enquiry
LV8 - .. show independence in identifying appropriate
geographical questions and issues, and in using an effective
sequence of investigation.
LV7 - .. With growing independence … identify geographical
questions and issues and establish their own sequence of
investigation
LV6 - .. suggest relevant geographical questions and issues and
appropriate sequences of investigation
LV5 - .. begin to suggest relevant geographical questions and issues .. to
help investigate places and environments
LV4 - .. draw on knowledge and understanding to suggest suitable
geographical questions
LV3 - .. use skills and sources of evidence to respond to a range of geographical
questions
LV2 - use information and own observations to ask and respond to questions about
places and environments
LV1 - .. use resources provided and their own observations to ask and respond to questions
about places and the environment

“Steps to Success” - Place Study
LV8 - .. .. show knowledge, skills and understanding in
studies of a wide range of places .. from local to global, and
in different parts of the world … begin to account for
disparities in development and understand the range and
complexity of factors that contribute to the quality of life in
different places.
LV7 - .. show knowledge, skills and understanding in studies of a
wide range of places .. from local to global, and in different parts
of the world … appreciate that the environment in a place and
the lives of people who live there are affected by actions and
events in other places.
LV6 - ..show knowledge, skills and understanding in studies of a wide
range of places .. from local to global, and in different parts of the
world … appreciate the many links and relationships that make
places dependent on each other.
LV5 - show knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to studies
undertaken at more than one scale and covering a range of places and
environments in different parts of the world … recognise some of the links
and relationships that make places dependent on each other.
LV4 - .. appreciate the importance of wider geographical location in
understanding places
LV3 - .. show awareness that different places may have both similar and different
characteristics
LV2 - .. show awareness of places beyond own locality
LV1 - .. show knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to studies at a local scale
“Steps to Success” – Geographical Processes and Patterns
LV8 - .. offer explanations for interactions within and
between physical and human processes.
LV7 - ..describe interactions within and between physical and
human processes, and show how these interactions create
geographical patterns and help change places and
environments.
LV6 - .. describe and explain a range of physical and human
processes and recognise that these processes interact …describe
ways in which physical and human processes operating at
different scales create geographical patterns ..
LV5 - .. describe and begin to offer explanations for geographical
processes … describe how these processes can lead to similarities and
differences in people’s lives and environments
LV4 - ..recognise and describe physical and human processes …begin to
show understanding of how these processes change the features of places
LV3 - ..describe and make comparisons between physical and human features of
different localities
LV2 - .. describe physical and human features of places, recognising and making
observations about those features that give places their character
LV1 - .. recognise and make observations about physical and human features of localities
