Primary Geography is a BBC schools TV series from the 2000s and 2010s, covering geography for primary school pupils.


Presenters explore different locations and landscapes to support specific areas of the geography curriculum.


This series supported primary pupils from ages 7 to 11 and replaced the earlier series Landmarks for younger pupils in that age range, and Zig Zag for older pupils. More than half of the episodes shown as part of Primary Geography were actually repeats from those earlier series with new opening titles added on.
