‘Geography underpins a lifelong “conversation” about the earth as the home of humankind.’

Geographical Association

The geography curriculum at Avenue aims to inspire a curiosity and fascination about the world and recognise the importance of sustainable development.  Children learn about their local area and compare this with other regions of the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.  Children develop a knowledge of location and place, recognising significant physical and human features.  Geographical enquiry includes opportunity for children to investigate places, ask geographical questions and make observations using sources such as maps, atlases, globes, images and aerial photographs.  Fieldwork opportunities allows pupils to observe, collect and analyse information whilst developing a sense of place.  We explore the school grounds and observe seasonal changes.  Global events are shared through whole school assemblies.  Our link school in The Gambia provides the opportunity for pupils to learn about what life is like for children in a different country.
