Our Geography Curriculum
At Tintwistle CE Primary School, our geography teaching provides and provokes children's answers to questions about both the human and natural aspects of the world as naturally, geography is an investigative subject. From Nursery, our intent is to develop children's awareness of their local area and the world around them by exploring their immediate environment and using simple language to describe places and features. Through sensory play, outdoor learning, and stories, children begin to notice different environments, weather, and cultures. Our geography curriculum promotes all pupils' curiosity and fascination about the world and its people, which will remain with them throughout their lives. All children, regardless of their backgrounds, cultures and abilities are encouraged to develop a deeper understanding of the world alongside their place in it. Throughout pupils' time at Tintwistle Primary School, they will progressively develop: contextual knowledge, an understanding of physical and human geography alongside geographical skills, through a range of experiences in the classroom alongside educational visits. We also take every opportunity to link geography to the wider curriculum as this enables children to develop transferable skills and can promote their cultural, social, spiritual and moral development.
