Intent: We want to develop pupils’ love and fascination for the people, places and processes that make up our diverse community and environment. Our aim is for pupils to gain a rich knowledge and understanding of the global world, using a range of practical skills to help them explore the human and physical features around them.

EYFS Implementation

In EYFS, pupils learn about their immediate environment and local area and talk about the similarities and differences which they can see in the world around them.  Pupils are encouraged to explore the wider world through discussing their own experiences of holidays, visits and books.

KS1 Implementation

In KS1, pupils use simple fieldwork and observation skills to learn about key human and physical geographical features in their locality. Through map skills, pupils develop their use of directional language and knowledge of points of the compass. Pupils widen their geographical knowledge by learning about countries in the United Kingdom and the Coasts and Seas which surround them. Pupils explore the contrasts between rural and urban settings before investigating the wider global world and its features. 

KS2 Implementation

In KS2, pupils go on a journey around the world, learning about the countries, climate, major cities and significant human and geographical features of Europe, North America and South America. Pupils study both the human and physical geography of these continents and compare and contrast different regions of the globe. Aspects of physical geography are further explored in units on Volcanoes, Rivers and Earthquakes  and trade and economic links are investigated in a study of the Journey of Food around the World. Building on the skills they have acquired in KS1, pupils use atlases, globes and digital technologies to enhance their understanding of the world around them. Cross curricular lessons, local visits and upper Key Stage 2 residential trips provide opportunities for pupils to develop fieldwork skills of observation, recording and measuring the world around them.

If you would like more information about how you can support your child at home in geography please do read the parent guide below:
