Geography
Through our Geography curriculum, we endeavour to ignite children’s curiosity and fascination about the world around them. We aim to equip our pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with developing their understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.
Our Geography curriculum covers the skills outlined in the National Curriculum through broad, challenging and inspiring themes. Progression is planned in knowledge, skills and vocabulary so that pupils by the end of year 6 have the cultural capital to be successful in Geography in Key Stage 3 and beyond.
Pupils are encouraged to think like geographers and develop their skills such as map and compass reading, collecting and analysing data as evidence and communicating geographical information in a variety of ways. We encourage children to understand the importance of outdoor learning in order to build a natural curiosity about the world they live in and how it works around them, linking with Forest School and other curriculum areas such as Science and PSHE.
