Curriculum Intent
Our curriculum is designed to engage pupils with the world in which they currently live, will inherit and pass on in the future. Within lessons, children will use map skills to learn about the physical diversity of the planet and develop their understanding of people and place. They will learn through field work and local study as well as study countries around the world, noting their similarities and differences to their own lives in the UK. Children will ask questions about both physical and human geography and both broaden and deepen their knowledge of the world as a global village.
Our Curriculum
National Curriculum Key Stage 1:
Pupils should develop knowledge about the world, the United Kingdom and their locality. They should understand basic subject-specific vocabulary relating to human and physical geography and begin to use geographical skills, including first-hand observation, to enhance their locational awareness.
National Curriculum Key Stage 2:
Pupils should extend their knowledge and understanding beyond the local area to include the United Kingdom and Europe, North and South America. This will include the location and characteristics of a range of the world’s most significant human and physical features. They should develop their use of geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to enhance their locational and place knowledge.
