Geography

We aim to: 

  • Develop the pupils as geographical enquirers 

  • To develop an understanding of local, nation and international geography.  

  • Develop the use geographical sources  

  • To develop fieldwork skills to gather hands on geographical experiences. 

  • To offer comparisons and contrasts across countries 

Pupils will have the opportunity to: 

  • Collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes 

  • Interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) 

  • Communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length 

We have designed our geography curriculum to provide children with a knowledge and understanding of their local area, the United Kingdom and the wider world enabling them to make connections with other curriculum areas and acquire skills for later life. 

Strong connections with other areas of learning are planned for to ensure knowledge is revisited regularly.
