Our Geography curriculum will support children in understanding the world around them. They will become curious about our planet and fascinated by its many places, people, resources and environments. Through the frequent Geography lessons, children will understand human and physical processes, and their impact on our world. Children will learn how the Earth’s features are formed and how they have changed over time. They will understand the effect that geography has on our everyday lives and that without it, other events and subjects have much less meaning. Children will develop an understanding and appreciation of their local area and the wider world which is around them.
Children will develop a sound locational knowledge of the world and an appreciation of the geographical features and events that make each place unique. They will understand similarities and differences across the world and be able to use geographical vocabulary to discuss these. They will be confident when using a variety of sources, including a range of maps and atlases.
The following high dividend concepts have been identified as part of the Geography curriculum: Change, Culture and Diversity, Scale, Sense of Place, Space, Sustainability and the Environment. These will form the ‘Big Ideas’ through which all geography will be taught.
