Geography
Intent
Our geography curriculum inspires curiosity and fascination about the world and its people while equipping pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to be prepared for life. Pupils learn about people, places, resources and environments and develop subject vocabulary, map and fieldwork skills and the ability to collect, analyse and communicate geographical information. Learning builds from the early years to Year 6 so pupils use prior knowledge, make sense of local and global issues, and grow into responsible, enquiring citizens.
Implementation
The curriculum is planned in well-sequenced, progressive lessons. Each unit has an overarching enquiry question. The children are taught in blocks to immerse them in their learning to enable them to know more and remember more. We use Grammarsaurus units of work to support our geography curriculum.

Impact
Our geography curriculum inspires pupils with curiosity about the world and its people. It enables children to develop a sense of place, whilst exploring, investigating and understanding the human and natural processes that affect our planet. We prepare pupils with knowledge about places, people, resources and natural and human environments. This knowledge is combined with an understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As pupils progress, their increasing 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. Our pupils have confidence and practical experiences of geographical knowledge, understanding and therefore, develop their skills.
