Curriculum Clarity and Academic Fidelity

Through being taught our curriculum, children should

1. Understand that geography is the study of planet Earth and how the people who live on Earth interact with it (physical & human characteristics).  Understand that studying geography is about being curious about the world and its people.

2. Be able to use maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs, a compass, grid reference, symbols, ONS and other geographical information sources with accuracy to build their understanding of locational knowledge, human and physical geography.

3. Be able to carry out age-appropriate fieldwork (observe, measure, record) using relevant tools for measurement and associated geographical observational techniques, e.g sketch maps, digital technologies, drawing plans.

4. Be able to name and locate specific and significant places, regions and features on a variety of maps - initially within the local area and then broadening to include the wider world.

5. Comment on the types and impact of human geography, e.g settlements, land use, economic activity, distribution of natural resources.
