Geography

Horton Park follow the National Curriculum for Geography, supported by Curriculum Maestro, and progressively cover a range of knowledge and skills. The geography projects we follow at Horton Park are well sequenced to provide a coherent subject scheme that develops children’s geographical knowledge, skills and subject disciplines.

Understanding and learning about geographical locations provides a broad and diverse understanding of the world, with a wide range of learning experiences that inspire the children to be curious about the world and its people. Also through field work, the children are able to problem-solve and deepen their understanding of the earth’s physical processes.

Children are able to communicate their opinions about global environmental issues and begin to become global citizens sharing in the responsibility of our planet, by using subject specific vocabulary. As knowledge grows, the children at Horton Park begin to analyse the interaction between the physical and human processes that form our landscapes and environments over time.
