ABSTRACT
A recent debate critiquing changes to school geography in England and Wales has identified a ‘New Agenda’ characterised by the development of values and attitudes education. This article presents a case for seeing the ‘New Agenda’ as nothing more than one of many changes that the subject has gone through over the last 30 to 40 years. It shows that there has been constant change in the approaches and content of A-level Geography and that this reflects the dynamic nature of the subject. A case is then presented for why values and attitudes should occupy a central place in our subject and, finally, the positive contribution of the ‘New Agenda’ is considered in the context of the new Pilot Hybrid GCSE.
