Geography
Geography is taught
from Reception to Year 6. Again we have used the English National
curriculum topics as the core of our curriculum but adapted it to suit
our school. The Oxford Geography Success Series provides a base and we
have a range of textbooks, maps, videos, magazines to further explore
the world. Class field trips are an essential part of our Geography
lessons.
Please see the table below for a summary of the topics we study.
