At Dovecot Primary School, our geography curriculum aims to inspire pupils’ curiosity and fascination about the world and its people, that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

Our intent is to ignite a passion for geography. We encourage children to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, as well as their place in it.

Our teaching of geography equips pupils with knowledge about diverse places and people; resources in the environment; human and physical processes; and formation and use of landscapes. In addition, we aim to develop children’s geographical skills such as: collecting and analysing data; using maps, globes and digital mapping to name and identify countries, continents, and oceans; and communicating information in a variety of ways. Our teaching of geography will help to develop a sense of identity and promotes responsible citizenship.
