Geography at Clifford Primary School engages children’s curiosity about places around the world, the area that they live and how to sustain our environment.
The emphasis on long-term learning: remembering a manageable number of countries, capitals and physical features by building knowledge slowly and deeply. Children learn about physical and human processes and the relationship between them, as well as the similarities and differences.
Through fieldwork and outdoor learning children will learn geographical skills: map reading, how to use an atlas/globe and aerial photos.
