Our aim is to teach pupils about the world around them in an engaging way, using the local area, maps, technology and information texts to develop pupil’s knowledge of; location, places, human and physical geography and geographical skills and field work.

The National curriculum states that:

Pupils should develop knowledge about the world, the United Kingdom and their locality. They should understand basic subject-specific vocabulary relating to human and physical geography and begin to use geographical skills, including first-hand observation, to enhance their locational awareness. We use the Cornerstones curriculum to inform planning and provide exciting, project based Geography lessons, such as ‘Coastline’ in Year 2, following a sequence of ‘introduce, engage, develop and innovate’. Using this curriculum as a guide ensures clear progression of knowledge and skills across all year groups.
