Geography

Geographical work helps children gain an insight into the nature of the world in which we live. In Key Stage 1, the children will study their local area and the immediate area around the school. They will investigate physical and human features, answer geographical questions and explore situations through practical activities and fieldwork.

Geographical study will be set within the broader geographical context of the United Kingdom and beyond; the older children comparing their study to that of contrasting localities. Key Stage 2 children will build on their study of the local area, looking at the main physical and human features and consider environmental issues. Their study will involve learning how the features of the locality influence the nature and location of human activity.
