Intention (Why do we teach what we teach ?)

We have designed our Geography curriculum so that our learners:

• Foster a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people
• Are provided with a range of opportunities that develop a deeper understanding of the four areas of geography; Locational knowledge, Place knowledge, Human and physical geography & Geographical skills and fieldwork
• Have developed and enriched vocabulary to support their geographical knowledge

Implementation (How do we teach it ?)

Our Geography curriculum is taught:

• Using a clear progression of skills and knowledge through challenging and appropriately pitched teaching based on the EYFS Framework and National curriculum
• Through regularly providing opportunities to develop locational knowledge and mapping skills
• By providing opportunities to experience geography through practical lessons outside of the classroom (such as school grounds and local environment) and in other areas of the curriculum

Impact (What has been the impact and how do we know?)

The impact of the Geography curriculum at Putteridge Primary can be seen through:

• Our children will be confident talking about what they have learnt in geography and use geographical vocabulary accurately
• Our children will be able to pose geographical questions and draw conclusions about the wider world and people in it
• Our children have an understanding of how they can help care for the Earth, its people and resources beyond school and into adulthood
