At St Michael’s CE Primary School, we aim to provide an exciting and engaging Geography curriculum in which the children take an active role in their learning. Using their curiosity, they can explore and explain why the world is the way it is, fostering a fascination about their world that will form them into lifelong Geographers. Our aims are to develop children’s interests about local, national, and international localities by broadening their knowledge of people, places and environments across the world, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s human and physical features.

Our curriculum aims to:

• Provide a challenging, engaging, and accessible curriculum for all children at St Michael’s CofE Primary School.
• Build on previous knowledge to help engage and stimulate children to confidently deepen their Geographical understanding.
• Develop contextual knowledge of local, national and global significant places including their defining human and physical features.
• Enable all children access to carry out fieldwork that deepens their understanding of geographical processes.
• Ensure that all children are competent in geographical skills needed to collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through fieldwork.
• Interpret a range of geographical sources including maps, pictures, diagrams, photos and globes.
• Communicate geographical information in a variety of ways including maps, numerical and fieldwork skills.
