Geography

Learn with passion, lead with kindness, grow with resilience

At our school, we want children to be curious about the world and excited to discover more about it. Our Geography curriculum helps children understand the places they live in, the people who live around the world and how our planet is changing.

We follow the Maestro Cornerstones Curriculum, which gives children a rich and exciting range of opportunities to learn about different places, environments and communities. As children move through school, they build on what they already know and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Children learn about continents, countries, cities, rivers, mountains, oceans and different environments. They explore both the natural world and how people live, work and use the places around them.

Geography is a hands-on subject. Children have opportunities to use maps and atlases, carry out fieldwork, collect information and investigate questions about the world. They learn to look closely, spot patterns, ask questions and explain what they discover.

We also help children understand the importance of looking after our planet. They explore topics such as weather, climate, natural resources and how people can make a difference to the environment.

Our school values are at the heart of Geography:

• Kindness – caring for our planet and the people who live on it.
• Respect – appreciating different places, cultures and ways of life.
• Teamwork – working together to explore and investigate.
• Resilience – keeping going when something is challenging.
• Independence – becoming confident in finding out and using geographical skills.
• Pride – being proud of our knowledge and the discoveries we make.

Through Geography, we want our children to become curious, confident and caring explorers, with a better understanding of the wonderful world we all share.
