At Wessex Primary School, we aim to develop a curiosity about the world around us and help children learn about their local environments and the wider world. We want children to develop the confidence to question and observe environments, measure and record data in a variety of ways, and analyse and present their findings. 

Through our scheme of work, we aim to build the children's understanding of how Geography shapes their lives and environment. We hope that by developing these skills, pupils will become more active citizens who will contribute to the betterment of the world around them. 

Our scheme encourages: 

• A focus on developing both geographical skills and knowledge. 
• To develop critical thinking, ask questions about the world, analyse evidence and present findings. 
• The development of fieldwork enquires across all year groups. 
• An interest in and understanding of different locations and comparing them to our local surroundings. 
• A growing understanding of geographical terms and vocabulary. 
•  

The Wessex Geography scheme of work enables pupils to meet the end of key stage expectations linked with the National curriculum.
