Geography

 At Baguley Hall we want children to be curious about the world where they live and the people in it. Our curriculum equips pupils with knowledge about different places, focusing on people, resources, landscapes and environments to develop their understanding of the key human and physical processes of Earth.

When appropriate, the geography curriculum at Baguley Hall makes use of the resources within the immediate and wider local area, enabling children to develop their Geographical understanding first hand.

Topics are informed by the National Curriculum and units are carefully planned and structured to ensure that learning is progressive across the phases so that children achieve the intended outcomes :

• develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places – both terrestrial and marine – including their defining physical and human characteristics and how these provide a geographical context for understanding the actions of processes 

• understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world, how these are interdependent and how they bring about spatial variation and change over time 

• are competent in the geographical skills needed to: collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes 

• interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) 

• communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length.

Geography is taught across cycles:
