Geography

The study of geography involves our children exploring the relationship and interactions between people and the environments in which they live.

Children of today will inhabit a world of 11 billion people. The many opportunities and challenges that will arise during their lifetime, will be very much linked to geography at personal, national and global scales. This has been carefully considered throughout our geography curriculum plan, which aims to be aspirational, relevant, progressively challenging and inclusive.

Geography is taught through interesting and exciting topics such as Extreme Weather, Australia, Rivers and International Trade. Teaching through topics allows children to understand the many links between geography and other subjects such as science and history.

We use a workbook approach to Geography which encourages active learning by allowing pupils to engage directly with maps, diagrams, and structured activities. This method reinforces key concepts through repetition and practice and helps develop independent learning skills.

Where appropriate, we provide rich opportunities for children to learn about their immediate and local environment and compare this to contrasting locations. The school sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty and we want our children to value this for themselves and how this compares to their wider world.
