Geography

At Stapleford Abbotts Primary Academy, we believe that the geography curriculum should enable our children to have an understanding and knowledge of the world, its interconnectedness and their place in it.  Through the study of locations within our local area, across the UK and Europe and the wider world, children study the physical and human characteristics of a location.  

Our geography teaching meets the aims of the national curriculum and ensures that children are able to:

• build their knowledge of people and places around the world whilst comparing them to their own location
• understand the Earth’s key physical and human processes and how they interact
• understand how landscapes and environments are used by people 
• develop their fieldwork skills and communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including maps, symbols, diagrams and written observations 
• use their mapwork skills to interpret a range of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes and aerial photographs
