Geography

Geography-Progression-Map-2023.pdf

In Geography, Key Stage 1 children are taught about their local environments, to be able to name and locate the four countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom and to be able to name and locate the world’s seven continents and five oceans. The children in Key Stage 2 are taught about places in the United Kingdom, wider world and how places relate to each other.

Our large school grounds and proximity to Axminster town centre and our local environment enable the children to engage in a wide range of practical geography activities, such as map and fieldwork.

In geography, we ensure that geographical enquiry and skills are used when developing knowledge of places, environment and developmental change. Children learn to communicate using geographical language, read maps and explain issues.
