Geography

"Geography is a living, breathing subject, constantly adapting itself to change. It is dynamic and relevant. For me, geography is a great adventure with purpose." - Michael Palin

Geography Subject Progression Framework

At Bishop Perrin School, our geography curriculum is designed to inspire a life-long interest and passion for learning and to provide opportunities for every child to communicate their developing ideas with confidence and conviction. Our planning facilitates a deepening understanding of our world, including its geographical processes, physical and human geographical features.

Enthusiasm for geography is supported by our diverse experiences, visits and visitors to stimulate and inspire pupils. Pupils are offered a variety of opportunities to acquire knowledge and understanding of key geographical concepts and to develop skills including making and studying maps, measuring, sketching, annotating diagrams, considering and analysing information, sharing and supporting opinions and discussing contrasting views, plus presenting their own analysis supported by well-constructed justifications. Our curriculum will inspire children to question and to create connections as their knowledge and understanding develops.
