Geography

Our high-quality geography education inspires our pupils to have a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

Our Geography curriculum is knowledge rich. The knowledge children will gain has been carefully specified, ordered coherently and builds over time. As children work through our geography curriculum they will know more, understand more about the world around them.

Conceptual understanding is at the heart of our curriculum. Children will learn about key geographical concepts such as place, space, the environment and interconnection. Children will become more skilled at answering questions such as; what is it like to live in this place? What are the challenges of this environment? How have people changed this landscape over time? Children will gain an understanding of what geographers do, what they look for and what they may say about a place.

As children work through the curriculum they will know more and understand more about their local area, the UK, Europe and the World. They will build geographical knowledge and understanding in a way that builds on children’s prior knowledge, allowing them to make meaningful connections and gain an understanding of how our world is connected.
