‘Geography underpins a lifelong “conversation” about the earth as the home of humankind.’

Geography Association

At St Paul's Catholic Primary School we enjoy learning about Geography. Our knowledge-based curriculum, based on a 2 year planning strategy enables the children to explore  range of key topics in a fun and exciting way. 

Geography is split into the following strands:

Locational Knowledge

Place Knowledge

Human and Physical Geography

Geographical skills and fieldwork.

We aim to develop children's longterm knowledge in Geography by building on previous concepts and constantly reviewing learning. We refer to this at St Paul's Catholic Primary School as 'Sticky Knowledge'. 

We also prioritise the development of key vocabulary and technical language. 

Knowledge Organisers are used in all classes to help children and parents learn together.
