Geography

At Frizinghall Primary School, the geography curriculum is based on the Geography National Curriculum and the EYFS Framework.

Geography education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the development of a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts.

Geography aims to ensure that all pupils:

Develop geographical knowledge and conceptual understanding through an understanding of place, space and environment.
Engender the excitement and critical thinking about the world that will equip them to make their own way in the ever-changing world around them.

The Frizinghall Geography Curriculum is underpinned by the whole school SCARF values and the use of spoken language in order to develop geographical enquiry and good questioning. It is enhanced by meaningful experiences, including visits, visitors, relevant links to the activity passports as well as active learning opportunities such as orienteering.

The teaching of geography at Frizinghall Primary School equips children with geographical skills, a knowledge of the world around them and the ability to ask perceptive questions, think critically and analyse evidence.
