‘The study of geography is about more than just memorizing places on a map. It’s about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it’s about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together’ Barack Obama.

Geography Intent, Implementation and Impact Statement

Alongside planning for children’s skills development, as detailed in the document above, we also plan the knowledge they will secure year on year. This is detailed through our long term progression plan for geography (Year A only as we operate a two year rolling programme).

To help children place new learning into the learning sequence for Geography, we use knowledge organisers. Here are some examples:

Spring:    Y1/2     Y3/4     Y5/6

Whilst learning about the river Tamar last year, Class 4 made this 3D model to help identify all the different features of a river.
