Our Vision for Geography

Geography at Grange should ensure that pupils develop their knowledge of the world, as well as their place within it, and inspire them to be curious and fascinated in order to increase their cultural capital. We aim to guide our pupils to become local and global citizens who are responsible for the future of their world around them through recognising that they have a voice and can use it confidently to convey their thoughts and views about geographical issues. We think this is made possible by providing practical experiences through local fieldwork studies and visits to the wider region.

Geography in EYFS

Our Early Years provision is language rich and has been carefully created to provide a range of opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom to help develop essential knowledge and skills.

By the end of Key Stage 1

Pupils should develop knowledge about the world, the United Kingdom and their locality. They should understand basic subject-specific vocabulary relating to human and physical geography and begin to use geographical skills, including first-hand observation, to enhance their locational awareness.

By the end of Key Stage 2

Pupils should extend their knowledge and understanding beyond the local area to include the United Kingdom and Europe, Africa, North and South America. This will include the location and characteristics of a range of the world’s most significant human and physical features. They should develop their use of geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to enhance their locational and place knowledge.

SEND Statement

Grange Primary promotes a curriculum that puts all pupils, regardless of their needs, at the heart of what we do. By building mutual respect, we accept others for their differences believing that everyone is special and everyone has something to offer. Our inclusive and enriching curriculum, written for all children, provides pupils with meaningful and aspirational experiences as well as promoting personal growth for life-long learning. When the curriculum needs adapting to suit the needs of individual children, appropriate modifications are made by the class teacher with support from the SENDCo and the Curriculum Subject Lead.
