Geography education begins locally before journeying to the most extreme locations on Earth to nurture a passion, curiosity and respect for the natural world and its inhabitants; both human and animal.

In a wonderful world where human impact is increasingly influencing its future, our children enjoy lessons that inspire a positive, proactive attitude to caring for the planet, as well as a desire to continue learning about its endless geographical wonders. Physical and human processes, their impact on the world, the importance of diverse landscapes and environment are all explored as children develop their geographical knowledge and skills of enquiry.

We have worked collaboratively to select clearly sequenced topics that fulfil the requirements of the national curriculum whilst immersing the children in inspiring and fascinating geography to promote a love for the subject. Each year group has a topic that  builds on learning from previous years. This ensures children develop geographical enquiry, whilst gaining a breadth of knowledge to help them understand the diversity of human and physical geography on Earth.

Our pupils understanding begins in their local area, and builds on a journey around the world, ensuring key continents are explored. They also explore other areas of the planet – looking beneath the sea at the role the reef plays in keeping oceans healthy. They virtually take a journey to the hottest and coldest areas of the planet, and understand how life survives there. Our pupils recognise the force and strength of nature when they learn about volcanoes and earthquakes.

Using collaborative and practical approaches to learning where possible, we utilise a range of technology to support the acquisition of  strong knowledge and understanding in Geography.

Children understand the importance of the positive impact their generation can have on the world, and the responsibility to protect and preserve. Alongside the Eco Science curriculum, and through fun and creative lessons, we prepare and inspire children to make a difference and lead future change.
