The All Saints' Approach to the geography curriculum shows children to be fully engaged in learning and has created opportunities for children to think critically. In lessons, children use their core, factual knowledge to develop their own perceptions and feelings of a place, and take on board other views through an empathic understanding of cultural contexts and others’ perspectives.

The evaluative assessments of our geographical work are assessed through geographical criteria that reinforces key vocabulary.  Further, children create outcomes through applying the skills-built such as, questioning techniques, peer assessment, discussions, debates and  explanations of an enquiry question or problem-solving exercise.

Our continuing CPD, based on lesson observations and skills audits, ensures that our teachers are up-to-date and confident providers of high quality geography teaching. Carefully planned progression grids in skills and fieldwork experiences ensure scope, sequence and progression in our curriculum.

In order to demonstrate achievement in geography, pupils at All Saints’ Primary School will:

• Be able to apply their contextual knowledge  of locations, places and geographical features to their understanding of processes and interactions, how the human and physical world interact.
• Develop competent skills of enquiry, collection and evaluation of data, and communication of geographical information that develops a strong sense of place.
• Develop strong graphicacy skills through reading widely and often, being able to interpret a range of images, to ‘look’ and not just ‘see’.
• Show fluency in their learning by developing a deep body of knowledge that they will carry to their next class, year group, key stage and transfer into secondary school.
• Demonstrate range and accuracy of their investigative skills, for example, by UKS2, formulating their own enquiry questions and working with more complex information.
• Present themselves as responsible, respectful and active citizens, who are tolerant and celebratory of difference and ready to play their part.
