Geography Vision
By the end of Key Stage 2 pupils will have good knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the earth’s key physical and human processes. They will be able to use key vocab to compare and contrast environmental examples across the breadth of study, explaining any changes and providing reasons for change. This understanding will be based on good geographical evidence and understanding.
Key Curriculum Drivers
Geography supports our wider curriculum vision through our key drivers in the following ways:
| Curriculum Drivers | How Geography supports this driver |
|---|---|
| To know about the World | Children study Geography through the key concepts of Navigation, Diversity and Impact. |
| High levels of oracy | Children will compare and contrast locations in the world, ask perceptive questions and articulately express opinions based on geographical knowledge, using subject-specific vocabulary. They will read high quality texts to support their knowledge and opinions. |
| To have ambition | Children will study a range of diverse, notable figures within Geographical exploration and research to learn about the legacy of ambition. |

Geography Key Concepts
Our Geography curriculum is based around these key concepts that will support children's development in the subject area, aiming towards our vision.
| Key Concept | I am a geographer because... |
|---|---|
| Navigation | ...I can locate different places in relation to one another, using globes and maps |
| Diversity | ...I explore and know about different places, people, resources and environments |
| Impact | ...I investigate how humans and physical geography change and impact on one another |
Each of these concepts is threaded through the curriculum and repeated through various units. This is because these concepts are vital for children at Henry Chichele Primary School to master in order to achieve our end aspirational goal.
Open the following files to see how each of the key concepts are threaded through the curriculum.
