Geography

At Pinner Park Primary School, we aim for a high quality geography curriculum which should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people.
 
Our teaching equips pupils with knowledge about places and people; resources in the environment; physical and human processes; formation and use of landscapes.
 
We also want children to develop 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 and love learning about geography by gaining this knowledge and skills, not just through experiences in the classroom, but also with the use of fieldwork and educational visits.

How we teach Geography
We implement a curriculum that is progressive throughout the whole school. Geography at Pinner Park is taught as part of a half-termly or termly topic, focusing on knowledge and skills stated in the National Curriculum. At Pinner Park Primary School, we ensure that geography has the same importance given to it as the core subjects, as we feel this is important in enabling all children to gain ‘real-life’ experiences.
 
At the beginning of each topic, children are able to convey what they know already as well as what they would like to find out, we use Knowledge Organisers to ensure that pupils are aware of what they are expected to know by the end of teaching, and, most importantly, retain the knowledge in their long term memory. A knowledge organiser can make it much clearer for everyone exactly what is being taught. This informs the programme of study and also ensures that lessons are relevant and take account of children’s different starting points.

Cross curricular outcomes in geography are specifically planned for, with strong links between geography and literacy lessons identified, planned for and utilised. The local area is fully utilised to achieve the desired outcomes, with extensive opportunities for learning outside the classroom embedded in practice.
