Geography at Stockton Heath Primary School
Subject Leader: Miss Saunders
At Stockton Heath Primary School, Geography begins in EYFS by focusing on "All About Me" - my home, my school, the daily weather. Through the years, the scope of location grows wider, as well as continually referring back to Stockton Heath, Warrington and the North West of England. Geography work through the years is underpinned by cartography (drawing maps), fieldwork, climate and sustainability.
Our geography curriculum is designed to develop pupils’ curiosity and interest about the world and to understand their local area and its significance geographically. Through the years, pupils revisit and build on previously taught areas so that it develops their understanding of both human and physical geography. We want children to leave our school with an enthusiasm for, interest in and a love of the world and with an understanding of human impact on it.

Knowledge Organisers
Class teachers have developed Knowledge Organisers for each of their geography units. These help us to address children's prior learning, vocabulary, core knowledge and key concepts for each of our geography topics throughout school. These are regularly being updated, added and revised to ensure the very best outcomes in our history curriculum. Please check back for more soon.
We hope you find them useful to support any work, discussion or research outside of school!
