Geography

Welcome to our Geography Curriculum. At Pensby Primary School, our geography curriculum inspires pupils to be curious and fascinated by the world and its people. It equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to understand their place within it.

Following a clear journey from local to national to global, pupils begin by exploring their immediate environment before extending their knowledge to countries, cultures, landscapes and global systems. Through the study of physical and human geography, they learn how the Earth works, how people interact with their surroundings and how places are connected.

Enquiry-based learning, fieldwork and carefully developed geographical vocabulary enable pupils to investigate, ask questions and think like geographers. Key concepts including place, climate, interdependence, environment and scale are revisited in increasingly complex contexts, helping pupils build secure and transferable knowledge.

Our curriculum also encourages pupils to engage thoughtfully with important global issues, including climate change, sustainability, environmental change and inequality.

By the end of Year 6, pupils are equipped to interpret the world around them, think critically and make informed decisions as responsible global citizens.
