At Willowpark, we strongly believe that high quality geography teaching offers our children the foundations for a greater understanding of the the world, as well as their place in it. The Geography curriculum at Willowpark enables children to develop knowledge and progressive skills that are transferable to other curriculum areas and which can be and are used to promote their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The aim, ultimately is to allow children to know more, remember more and understand more.
Geography is taught in blocks throughout the year to enable children to achieve depth in their learning. Within the curriculum we have identified the key knowledge and skills of each area of Geography and consideration has been given to ensure progression across these areas throughout each year group. By the end of Year 6, children will have geographical understanding of locational knowledge and place understanding, fieldwork, human and physical features, enquiry skills and globes, maps and plans.
