Geography

At Laycock Primary School, we aim to inspire children to become curious and explorative thinkers with a good understanding of the world. We want our children to think like a geographer. We want children to develop the confidence to question and observe places, measure and record necessary data in various ways, and analyse and present their findings.

We follow the Kapow scheme of learning for Geography. Through our scheme of work, we aim to build an awareness of how Geography shapes our lives at multiple scales and over time. We hope to encourage children to become resourceful, active citizens who will have the skills to contribute to and improve the world around them.

It is our aim that all of our children become curious and inspired geographers with respect and appreciation for the world around them alongside an understanding of the interconnection between the human and the physical. Through Geography, our children will build on their social skills through collaborative fieldwork, encouraging teamwork and communication which are skills for life.
