Geography
Intent
At Five Acres Primary School, we inspire children to develop a curiosity and fascination for the world around them. Through the study of places, people and environments, pupils gain a deeper understanding of our planet and their role as responsible global citizens.
Implementation
Geography is taught through a carefully sequenced curriculum that develops locational knowledge, human and physical geography, and fieldwork skills. Children begin by exploring their local area before extending their understanding to regions, countries and continents across the world. Learning is enriched through enquiry, mapping, investigation and regular opportunities to revisit and build on prior knowledge.
Impact
Children leave Five Acres with a strong understanding of the world, its diverse cultures and environments, and the processes that shape them. They can think critically about global issues, make connections between places, and appreciate their responsibility in caring for the world around them. Through learning together, growing together and thriving together, pupils become confident, knowledgeable and responsible geographers.
