Intent
At Westfield we want to develop young Geographers who are fascinated about the world and the people within it.
Our Geography curriculum enables children to gain knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, along with a clear understanding of the Earths physical and human processes.
Through hands on learning opportunities, children observe, investigate and question the physical world around them. Over time, children at Westfield gain knowledge and develop skills which allow them to independently explain how the Earths features are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
Implementation
At Westfield we use Cornerstones which provides a knowledge – rich Geography curriculum. The geography projects are specially sequenced from EYFS to year 6 to develop children’s understanding of key concepts, subject knowledge and skills.
The projects are designed to make meaningful connections with other subject projects allowing children to gain an all-round understanding of aspects of the world.
