Geography
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 and resources; natural and human environments; and a clear understanding of the Earth’s 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 Earth’s 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 Early Years Foundation Stage (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.
