At Priestsic Primary School we are all geographers!

During a child's journey through Priestsic Primary School, they will develop knowledge and skills through a concept driven curriculum deepening their understanding of the world.

 In EYFS, the children are encouraged to observe, explore and investigate the world around them. In KS1 and 2, geographical concepts are explored further, building a love of and respect for both the built and natural world. To encourage this respect for nature and the environment, we provide our children with a range of field trips and over night residentials.  

We encourage our children to learn through practical situations where ever possible, encouraging them to develop their field work and mapping skills.  During the year, we map out and recording all the amazing places we meet in our curriculum studies.  To help us know more and understand more, there is a sharp focus on  learning the subject -specific vocabulary relating to the human and physical aspects of geography.

 Another vital concept that has been developed in our curriculum is that of climate change and the role our children can play in tackling this. The children are encouraged to take an active role in this, seeing themselves as the driving force for change. We encourage all our pupils to  express their opinions, get involved and take responsibility for their world.
