St John's Church of England School

At St John’s, our intention in Geography is to convey a greater understanding and knowledge of the world by stimulating children’s inquisitiveness and fascination. Our Geography curriculum is progressive across the whole school and covers the knowledge and skills stated in the National Curriculum.

Learning will be enhanced through enrichment activities such as entry and exit points, 50 things to do before leaving St John’s and through school trips and visits. Through our high quality teaching we will develop the following skills and knowledge:

1. A secure knowledge of places and locations within Britain and the wider world.
2. An extensive base of human and physical geographical understanding.
3. The ability to ask and answer geographical questions using accurate and technical vocabulary.
4. Draw conclusion and explain their findings.  Use a range of sources to gather information including field work
