At Ashfield we base our Geography Planning on the National Curriculum and use a variety of learning schemes including Developing Experts and Odizzi. 

Intent. Insuring curriculum breadth, coverage, content and a structure that enables clear progression in knowledge and skills. 

Implementation. The teaching activities help assure lively, effective and appropriate learning based on structured pathways. 

Impact. The assessment activities and frameworks will help demonstrate that teaching has resulted in clear and appropriate outcomes. 

Pupils accumulate knowledge as they progress throughout our curriculum. For example, in Year 1’s local area study, children learn basic geographical concepts, knowledge, vocabulary and skills through the concrete experience of a familiar place. This then allows them to make meaningful comparisons with Australia in Year 2. During Key Stage 2, this knowledge of places feeds into regional studies from the Americas, Europe and the UK. Knowledge becomes both broader and deeper as pupils progress and become familiar with an ever-wider range of places. This growing knowledge is also fed by the development of locational knowledge, geographical skills and a growing understanding of human and physical processes.
