At Park View Primary School, Geography is taught as part of our wider curriculum and alternates with History each half term.

Our Geography curriculum has been carefully designed by our teachers to reflect the needs, experiences and aspirations of our children. We follow a structured six-step learning model, aligned with our approach to History, which provides clear and progressive learning journeys throughout the school.

We want our Geography curriculum to be meaningful, relevant and inspiring. Our units are chosen to broaden children's understanding of the world, providing experiences and knowledge that may be unfamiliar to many within our community. Wherever possible, we draw upon the cultures, countries and communities represented within our school, as well as places that children are likely to visit or encounter in their lives. This helps ensure that pupils see themselves reflected in their learning while also developing curiosity about the wider world.

Each Geography unit sits within a cross-curricular topic, enabling children to make meaningful connections across different subjects. Every area of study is built around a central enquiry question that gives purpose and direction to learning. Individual lessons are guided by carefully sequenced learning questions that identify the key knowledge to be gained, alongside an "I can..." statement that supports the development of subject-specific geographical skills.

Through our Geography curriculum, we aim to develop knowledgeable, inquisitive and responsible global citizens who understand their place in the world and are inspired to explore it further.

We try to include as many enrichment opportunities in our Geography Curriculum:
