Geography

When our pupils leave Victoria, we want them to know about the world beyond Rothwell and understand the natural and human factors that shape it. We want all pupils to enjoy and engage with their History and Geography curricula, and as they progress through school begin to take the initiative to direct their own learning through child-led projects. We want them to be curious about people and places, now and in the past, and have the skills and confidence to search for answers. We arrange for many enhancements in the forms of trips, visitors, experiences and residentials.

The aim of the Geography curriculum is to develop children’s curiosity and fascination about the world we live in. Building on from the KS1 curriculum, children will develop a knowledge and understanding of the national environment of the UK and from there, extending to other parts of the world. The children will be encouraged to see the interdependency between human and physical features as well as develop their skills in mapping and use of geographical resources.
