Geography – curriculum information
Geography is a vital and rich contribution to a balanced and broad curriculum which enables children to develop a thirst for knowledge about the world around them. Through Geography, we trigger investigative thinking and allow children’s minds to reach beyond their classroom. By teaching Geography, we intend to impart pupils with the knowledge, understanding, confidence, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individuals in Geography, their local community and the wider world.
At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of the Geography curriculum has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become inquisitive geographers. Using the National Curriculum, our highly skilled subject leader has carefully worked to create a Curriculum Overview Document which demonstrates the sequencing and mapping of their subject to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge to further their education journey into KS3 and life beyond the classroom.
Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.

The children of 6CB have been practising their skills using six figure grid references. A tricky task to master but great work and resilience from everybody! #BPSGeography
4RE worked collaboratively this week to produce a presentation detailing a variety of human and physical features of Hull from their field trip last week, which they communicated brilliantly to the rest of Year 4. #AspirationCurriculum #BPSGeography
Our geographers of 2LO have enjoyed plotting key features on an aerial photo of our local area. We then took our learning further and transferred our work onto a map with a number key. #BPSGeography
4RS had a lovely morning out in a very quiet Tickton village for their #BPSGeography fieldwork observing a traffic survey and looking at human and physical features. Lots of valuable research collated. Well done all of you!
5AR have been using symbols and 4 figure grid references to locate landmarks on OS maps this afternoon. Their map skills are very impressive! #BPSGeography #AspirationCurriculum
2MT went to see the world map in KS2 this week. We identified the continents and even found where we live. We shared our knowledge with Miss Waites too and she was very impressed. #BPSGeography
