Geography Vision

“In geography, we use maps, enquiry and fieldwork to develop skills and build knowledge of the world around us.”

Geography Curriculum Intent

Our geography planning and progression is underpinned by the Kapow scheme of work. Our curriculum is designed to allow children to build upon previous knowledge and skills, while engaging them with the wider world and local environment. We aim to nurture children’s curiosity, appreciation and respect for the wider world that we live in. We believe that every child should feel confident in exploring their immediate surroundings as well as developing an awareness of places further afield. By providing engaging, hands-on opportunities, we support children to grow as inquisitive learners who are ready to ask questions, think critically, and seek understanding of the world they live in. We intend to equip our children with the geographical knowledge and skills through studies of places, people and natural and human environments. Through enquiry-led learning, children discover how human and physical features are interconnected and how they impact each other over time. By linking new learning to children’s own experiences, we help them make sense of complex ideas and see how geography shapes daily life. Children learn to appreciate the richness and diversity of cultures, communities and environments across the world. Our geography curriculum teaches pupils to respect the planet by exploring issues such as sustainability, climate change and resource use. This empowers them to recognise their responsibility as global citizens and to make positive choices for the future. Our Geography curriculum ensures that children leave primary school with secure knowledge, transferable skills and a lifelong interest in the world. They are prepared not only to continue their geographical learning in KS3, but also to play an active role in caring for the people and environments that shape our shared planet.
