Learning
Geography
Understanding our place in the local community and the wider world.
Geography promotes in children an appreciation of their geographical location and their social communities in the context of the wider world, and of how these have changed over time. These experiences enhance children's potential to become effective, caring participants in their local community and in wider society.
Children study places, physical and human processes, and geographical skills including maps, fieldwork and the use of data, building from their own locality in Wombourne outwards to the rest of the world.
Geography is taught in half-termly blocks in most classes, and in week-long blocks in Upper Key Stage 2 so that learning has real depth.
