At Kenton Bar Primary School, geography is a key subject in many of our termly topics. Teaching geography is essential to developing young children’s natural fascination for the world around them.

Intent

In our Early Years Foundation Stage, we aim to:

• Guide children to make sense of their physical world and their community

• Explore, observe and find out about people, places and the environment

In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, children study the National Curriculum for Geography and we aim to:

• Engage, inspire and challenge pupils

• Equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments

• Develop and deepen pupils’ understanding of key physical and human processes

• Teach a range of skills to enable children to collect, analyse, interpret and communicate with geographical information.
