    Geography

    Intent:

    • An extensive base of geographical knowledge and vocabulary.
    • An excellent knowledge of where places are and what they are like.
    • An excellent understanding of how human and physical environments are interrelated.
    • Highly developed fieldwork.
    • A passion and curiosity for finding out about the world and people who live there.
    • A curriculum to ‘think like a geographer’: choosing, building and linking knowledge
    • An awareness of current issues in the environment.

    Implementation:

    • Planning is differentiated in every class by year group and children are given the opportunity to transfer their maths and English skills through cross-curricular links.
    • Children are provided with chances to access different geographical resources and visit places of interest and take part it fieldwork to enhance their learning about the past.
    • Children learn to independently, and safely, use resources from the internet and videos, and can use non-fiction books for research.
    • Specific vocabulary is set out and planned for the children, to develop a varied and extensive vocabulary by the end of KS2.

    Impact:

    • A rich and extensive vocabulary, built upon over time.
    • Children know more, and remember more, by building upon their knowledge of key geographical concepts over time helping them to make good or better progress
    • An understanding and tolerance of diversity in our community and the world
    • Confident and resilient learners
