Starting in EYFS, children learn about Geography through the strand 'Understanding the World'. In Key Stage 1, we follow an A-B rolling programme and in Key Stage 2, we follow an A-B-C-D rolling programme.

Intent

Geography gives our pupils a coherent knowledge and understanding of the world: its people, its composition, its history, its future. We inspire pupils' curiosity to know more about their place as global citizens, who will face the challenges of sustainability with confidence. We want pupils to…

• Speak like a geographer: using high level geographical vocabulary to confidently discuss key geographical themes.
• Think like a geographer: showing curiosity and fascination about the world and its people, gaining contextual knowledge of different locations, including culture, resources and environments.
• Act like a geographer: experiencing fieldwork opportunities to interpret a range of geographical sources, collect data, analyse and communicate geographical knowledge. In addition to this, students will engage in sustainable behaviours in school and their own lives.
• Read like a geographer: taking a fascination in geographical literature to further their geographical interest.
