Geography

Children study the earth and the people who live on it. We teach them to use maps and globes, and to think spatially.

Our curriculum focuses on the children’s own locality first, before moving out towards the wider world. Across their time with us children investigate a range of places including detailed studies of the UK, as well as European countries and beyond.

Our emphasis is on physical geography first, so that pupils fully grasp the concept of location and the physical processes that shape the world. They later move on to human and environmental geography.

The curriculum is very deliberately sequenced, with geographical vocabulary and concepts carefully built up. We revisit key concepts and vocabulary with increasing complexity so that older pupils’ thinking is challenged and their knowledge deepened.
