Greenfield Primary School
Geography
Intent:
At Greenfield Primary School, we aim to ensure our Geography Curriculum is a rich and stimulating part of our pupils learning. It will inspire our children’s curiosity, encouraging them to engage and develop a fascination about the world we live in. As geographers, our children will gain knowledge and understanding about the processes that shape the environment around us in our local area but also the wider world - discovering the physical and human differences of places and people from around the world. Through offering a broad and balanced curriculum, we aim to facilitate the progression of key geographical concepts, skills, knowledge and vocabulary on their journey learning about the world and in doing so; they develop a love for geography itself which remain with them for the rest of their lives.
Implementation:
At Greenfield Primary school for Geography we use PlanBee.
Within KS1, LKS2 and UKS2 we use a two-year rolling cycle. In each year children will do three Geography schemes of work comprising of 5 to 7 series of lessons.
In using PlanBee we are ensuring:
- Coverage of National Curriculum objectives
- Creating lessons that are engaging, informative and challenging
- Making sure that lessons are accessible to all learners
Provide complete curriculum coverage from Year 1 to Year 6 for Geography.

Impact:
