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 teaching equips pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world helps them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.

Some elements of geography are also taught through cross-curricular topics e.g. English, history, computing, maths and role-play. In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) the children explore places, people, communities and the world through their work related to ‘Knowledge and Understanding of the World’. A variety of teaching and learning styles in our geography lessons. Whole-class teaching methods are used. We encourage children to ask as well as answer geographical questions. We offer them the opportunity to use a variety of data, such as maps, statistics, graphs, pictures, and aerial photographs. All pupils are encouraged to reach their full potential through the provision of varied opportunities. We recognise that our curriculum planning must allow pupils to gain a progressively deeper understanding and competency as they move through the school. We develop the following skills, always building on earlier experiences through:
