Geography

Our Geography curriculum has been designed to encourage children to have a real sense of curiosity in finding out about their locality and beyond. Stratford-upon-Avon is our campus and all Year groups embrace this when studying their local area.

 

The exploration of our nearby surroundings begins in EYFS where children are taught to investigate and begin to understand the things, places and people around the local community and show an awareness of other cultures and religions.

 

Other examples are; Year 3 study the impact that Shakespeare has had on the area, and the effect of tourism. They explore how the local environment and infrastructure has changed over time.

 

We believe that Geography should inspire the children to learn about the part they play in the world today and how they can influence it in the future.  We encourage them to reflect and think about the rapidly changing environment through the teaching of physical and human geography of different countries and areas.

 

Children from both KS1 and KS2 develop geographical skills such as map and compass reading as well as building up their geographical vocabulary to include the continents and oceans of the world.
