Geography

At Tickford Park, we provide all children with equal opportunities to be emerged in the subject of Geography by enabling repetition and practise within their learning of the subject each year. As a result, they begin each school year with a deeper understanding than they had before in each of the key areas of Geography taught, through practising their skills and building upon their previous knowledge.

At Tickford Park, our Geography scheme of work aims to inspire pupils to become curious and explorative thinkers with a diverse knowledge of the world; in other words, to think like a geographer. We want our pupils to develop the confidence to question and observe places, measure and record necessary data in various ways, and analyse and present their findings. Through our scheme of work, we aim to build an awareness of how Geography shapes our lives at multiple scales and over time. We hope to encourage pupils to become resourceful, active citizens who will have the skills to contribute to and improve the world around them.

Our Geography scheme of work enables pupils to meet the end of key stage attainment targets in the National curriculum. The aims also align with those in the National curriculum. For EYFS, the activities allow pupils to work towards the ‘Understanding the world’ Development matters statements and Early learning goals, while also covering foundational knowledge that will support them in their further geography learning in Key stage 1.

We offer our children a range of visits, and visitors, that complement the learning that each year group is exploring throughout their school year, in order to provide them with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and understanding to real life contexts. These include a trip to Newport Pagnell Town to look at physical and human features. Each year in Key Stage 2, we also organise exciting and varied residential visits that provide a fantastic opportunity for relationship building as well as creating a natural curiosity about the subject of Geography.
