Geography Curriculum Statement
At Brentnall Primary School, our inclusive geography curriculum is designed to ensure every child is able to access the National Curriculum through a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum. We aim to deliver teaching that ensures the progressive development of geographical concepts, knowledge and skills, and importantly, for children to develop a love for geography.
Intent
At Brentnall Primary, our high quality geography curriculum will inspire children, encourage questions about the world around them and support children to understand their role as global citizens. Our teaching will give pupils a varied knowledge of places and people; resources in the environment; physical and human processes; and the use of landscapes. Alongside this key knowledge, we will support children to develop practical geographical skills: collecting and analysing data; using maps, globes, aerial photographs and digital mapping to name and identify countries, continents and oceans; and communicating information in a variety of ways. We want children to enjoy learning about geography by gaining such knowledge and skills, not just through experiences in the classroom, but also with the use of fieldwork and educational visits. In particular, we aim to ensure that the practical element of geography provides all students with the opportunity to engage and succeed. Furthermore, it is important that children at Brentnall appreciate and understand the geographical landscapes of Salford and Manchester.
