Geography at Chesterton Primary School
At Chesterton Primary School we inspire to raise children's curiosity and fascination about our local area and the wider world, enabling them to make connections with other curriculum areas and acquire skills for later life. In our Geography curriculum, we will equip our children to broaden their knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments. The progression of skills and knowledge about the world starts from EYFS and continues through to Key Stage 2 where they develop their understanding, which is built on their prior knowledge. Every child will be able to access geographical resources to make comparisons and contrasts across different places. Throughout their school journey we aim develop their use of fieldwork and skills to bring their learning to life. Our Geography curriculum is designed to ensure our pupils are successful and prepared for their future.
As children progress through the school, we have designed our curriculum so that children will also explore seven key concepts from EYFS to Year 6. The seven key concepts are taught in all year groups with children working towards end goals for each concept at the end of each key stage.
