At Eccleston Primary School, we want our pupils to be inspired to know more about our planet and processes that occur within it.
We want our pupils to be curious about the world in which they live so that they understand the evolution of our planet, our planet’s uses and what may lie ahead in the future. Our curriculum promotes the investigation of places, investigation of patterns and allows out pupils to communicate geographically. We strive for all pupils to have a secure 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.
At Eccleston Primary School our Geography curriculum builds a strong foundation of geographical knowledge, understanding and skills which allows pupils to gain substantive and disciplinary knowledge of the wider world and immediate world around them. Pupils are taught to approach their learning as a Geographer, helping them to develop their skills and they gain further understanding and knowledge. Knowledge and skills build sequentially as pupils move through each year and are mapped to ensure that pupils make links with what has already been taught. The sequence of learning also ensures pupils are taught subject specific vocabulary and how to use this within their explanations.
