Intent

At Woodside Academy, we provide an exciting and thought-provoking geography curriculum. Our aim is to inspire, engage, and encourage children to ask questions, take ownership of their learning, and explore ways to develop their geographical knowledge and skills. Our curriculum enables children to confidently develop and apply their map skills, while fostering a natural curiosity about the world and the people within it. Geography at Woodside Academy helps pupils build a strong understanding of their local community, developing pride in where they live and an appreciation of what makes it unique and special. Children are given opportunities to take part in a wide range of enriching experiences, including engaging in fieldwork and gaining hands-on exposure to real-world contexts. The curriculum is carefully sequenced to ensure knowledge builds progressively. Key geographical concepts such as place, space, scale, interdependence, physical processes and sustainability are revisited and deepened over time. By the end of Year 6, pupils will have a secure understanding of how physical and human processes interact and will be able to think, speak and write like young geographers.
