Subject Leader: Tom Bird
At Charing Church of England Primary School, Geography is a vital part of our curriculum that inspires curiosity, resilience, and compassion for the world around us. Rooted in our Christian values, our Geography curriculum nurtures children’s understanding of their place in the global community and encourages them to stand up for what is right. Through an inclusive and creative approach to learning, we aim to develop confident, passionate lifelong learners who appreciate cultural diversity and the importance of sustainable living.
Our key aims in Geography are to provide a carefully sequenced and coherent curriculum that enables all pupils to acquire essential geographical knowledge, skills, and vocabulary. We strive to ensure that children develop a secure understanding of physical and human geography, map skills, and place-based knowledge. By embedding subject-specific vocabulary and supporting long-term memory, we aim to enhance pupils’ fluency and confidence in applying their learning. Our teaching is informed by high-quality resources such as Oddizzi’s Schemes of Work, which support progression and depth across three geography-led topics each year, culminating in a place-based study that connects knowledge and skills in a meaningful context.
