Geography Curriculum Statement

We aim to provide a broad and rich Geography curriculum that encompasses both building a secure knowledge base alongside field skills. We wish to inspire a curiosity and fascination with this ever-changing planet that we live in. We track progress from Foundation through to Year Six to ensure that the correct progression steps are in place so that children can deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes and the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Our children should confidently use Geographical terms from words such as ‘coast, ocean, valley’ in Year One through to ‘biomes, vegetation and hemisphere’ in Year Six. We have a broad range of Geographical topics which act as an inspiring vehicle for our children to apply their skills and deepen their knowledge. Some of our current topics include; ‘On Safari’, ‘The Titanic’, ‘Ice Kingdoms’, ‘Clean up Coxley’ and ‘The Amazon’. We believe that it is important that many of our topics are relevant and contextual to our children and so we explore the local area and make links with our community wherever possible, this includes the village of Middlestown, Coxley Woods and extending to Wakefield.
