The primary geography national curriculum in the UK mirrors the goals of its history counterpart, focusing on deepening students' understanding of the world and their place within it.

Our geography curriculum is guided by the Grammarsaurus scheme of work which teachers edit and adapt to suit the needs of the pupils in our school. Through engaging topics taught throughout the year, children explore diverse places and environments, with teachers carefully planning each topic to ensure progressive learning.

Fieldwork skills are emphasised, providing students with opportunities to investigate their local area and compare geographical features and processes. Vocabulary acquisition is prioritised, with key terms introduced at the outset of each topic to facilitate comprehension. Key vocabulary is revisited regularly throughout each topic to ensure these are committed to our long-term memory.

Utilising the local area as a learning resource enhances student engagement, with outdoor experiences providing real-world contexts for geographical concepts. We ensure that we provide opportunities for children to compare their local area with a contrasting one. This enables our children to find out about places in the world which they may not know about or would have the opportunity to visit.

Overall, the curriculum aims to inspire curiosity about the world while equipping students with the skills and knowledge to understand diverse geographical landscapes and become engaged global citizens.
