Geography at Athelstan

Mr Sayers leads Geography across the school and works with staff to ensure the curriculum is ambitious, engaging and progressive for all pupils. We want children to develop a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people, understand the relationship between human and physical environments, and become thoughtful, informed global citizens who care about the planet and their place within it.

Vision and intent 

At Athelstan Primary School, our Geography curriculum inspires pupils to become curious, knowledgeable and reflective geographers who understand the world and their place within it. Through an enquiry-led curriculum rooted in North Yorkshire and the wider world, pupils progressively develop disciplinary thinking alongside secure geographical knowledge and skills, including map work, fieldwork, data interpretation and critical thinking. By investigating real-world issues and asking meaningful geographical questions, children learn to interpret, analyse and communicate their understanding of human and physical environments, preparing them to become informed and responsible global citizens.
