Geography
At Holy Trinity School, our geography curriculum has been carefully planned and tailored in a way that encourages all children to develop their understanding of locational knowledge, place knowledge, human and physical geography and geography fieldwork. Our intent is to inspire the next generation to have a curiosity and passion for the world around them. In itself, geography plays a vital part of our curriculum and helps pupils to understand the complexity of our planet and appreciate the diversity of cultures that exists across continents.
As a multicultural school, we believe it is important to make children more aware of the different cultures of those around them. Geography also teaches our pupils how they are global citizens and provides them with the tools to be proactive when dealing with the human impacts on our planet such as climate change.
Our progression of skills curriculum map focuses on three key areas:
- Investigate patterns
- Investigate places
- Communicating geographically
The skills learnt in each year group will build on those learnt the previous year. This ensures that our geography teaching is constantly adding to the children’s knowledge and offering much more breadth and depth to their learning.
