Geography helps children develop an understanding of their place in the world, from their local area to global locations. It supports children in making sense of everyday experiences such as weather, landscapes, habitats, and where food and materials come from. Geography also develops important transferable skills such as observation, research, recording, and communication.

We use an enquiry-based approach to learning in Geography, encouraging children to ask questions, investigate places and environments, and explore the world around them in a meaningful way. This approach helps children to think like geographers as they build and apply their knowledge.

Our curriculum ensures that children develop a secure understanding of human and physical geography, as well as knowledge of locations and places. They compare and contrast different environments using their own experiences and local area as a reference point.

Children are given opportunities to develop their understanding through first-hand experiences, including outdoor learning and local visits that make learning real and memorable.
