Geography at Kingsway

When we learn about Geography at Kingsway, we start close to home in our local area and extend over the Key Stage to South America and beyond. By the end of Year 6, pupils have gained the knowledge to understand the world around them, through both human and physical geography, and the skills to explore our planet independently. Units are also planned in conjunction with other subject leaders to develop cross-curricular links with History, English, Art and Music. We never assume knowledge and always nurture curiosity.

We use an cumulative approach to learning, making sure that we build on what we have learnt before so that we remember more.  Children learn Key Facts each half term and take a quiz to help them remember.  Knowledge and skills are presented in a variety of ways to ensure all children, regardless of reading ability, are able to access learning. In this way we prepare all of our children, regardless of background, for their secondary education. Our curriculum is constantly evolving to ensure diversity, so that all children see themselves represented in their learning.

These are the areas of knowledge and understanding that children in all year groups learn about.
