At All Saints Junior School, We want to stimulate children’s natural curiosity and fascination through our knowledge-based geography curriculum and encourage each and every child in our care to develop a passion and a love for learning about the world, where they able to gain a better understanding of their own place within it.

With our literacy-rich approach using the Pearson Primary Geography we seek to encourage all our children to be confident, critical thinkers, who are reflective about the lessons we can learn from our amazing planet: its diverse places, people, resources and environments.

We aim to guide all our children towards becoming compassionate, responsible individuals, who respect and celebrate the world in which we live and understand the impact they can have on its future.

Our geography curriculum has been designed to ensure every child: 

• Develops contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places – both terrestrial and marine.
• Understands the processes that lead to key physical and human geographical features.
• Is competent in core geographical skills, including: the collection, analysis and presentation of data; and the interpretation of maps, diagrams and photographs
• Develops a rich vocabulary grounded in geographical terminology.
• Has the unique assessment opportunity to apply their geographical skills and knowledge to an analytical essay that employs critical thinking.
• Has opportunities to use geographical skills locally through our school pledge and Bushcraft programme, which weaves itself through our geography curriculum.
• Is able to deepen their geographical understanding across our synergistic curriculum.
