Geography Progression of Skills
At Queen Victoria, our geography educational inspires in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. The curriculum equips pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and environments. This, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes, including climate change and pollution, will promote the importance of protecting the planet for the future.
As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features are shaped, interconnected and change over time – both naturally and with human influence.
Geography is taught in half termly units that have a ‘big question’. Each lesson then has a line of enquiry to help the pupils to answer part of the big question. At the end of the unit children are then able to answer this question. This enables children to gain geographical knowledge of the world and to apply geographical skills.
