Geography curriculum
The geography curriculum for KS1 and KS2 follows the National Curriculum. The curriculum for EYFS is based on Development Matters.
The geography curriculum aims to build pupils’ knowledge and understanding of different countries and cultures, and develop pupils’ empathy and understanding of others. It also aims to help pupils form understanding and opinions on current issues and debates.
Learning objectives have been sequenced, considering pupils’ developmental stages, ensuring that learning is age appropriate. The sequence also ensures progression. Knowledge and skills in later years build on pupil’s previous learning, so knowledge and skills accumulate as pupils’ progress through each year group. There are also opportunities for pupils to revise key concepts. Where possible, links are made with other subjects such as History, R.E. and Science, so concepts and topics are studied together.
