Geography
At our school, the intent of the Geography curriculum is to inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives, in line with the National Curriculum purpose of study.
Our curriculum is designed to ensure that pupils:
-
Develop locational knowledge of the UK, Europe and the wider world.
-
Understand place knowledge, including similarities and differences between regions.
-
Gain secure understanding of physical geography (e.g. climate zones, rivers, mountains, volcanoes, water cycle).
-
Develop understanding of human geography (e.g. settlements, trade, land use, economic activity).
-
Acquire and apply geographical skills, including map reading, fieldwork, data interpretation and use of atlases and digital mapping.
The curriculum is carefully sequenced from EYFS to Year 6 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.
You can help by involving your child in route planning when on holiday and by talking about the landscape you see.
