Our geography curriculum inspires children to explore the diverse world around them - from their local community to faraway places. We want pupils to develop curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills while learning about people, environments and cultures. Our curriculum encourages reflection, responsibility and an awareness of global issues, helping children grow into informed individuals who appreciate different cultures and respect the environment.
Geography is taught through a planned curriculum that builds knowledge, develops skills and encourages enquiring learners. In KS1, children explore local and national geography, map skills, cities and weather. In KS2, learning extends to international geography, human and physical processes and digital mapping. Outdoor activities, fieldwork, workshops and educational visits enrich learning across all year groups.
By the end of their time at Loughborough, pupils have strong geographical knowledge and a wide range of transferable skills. They discuss and debate geographical issues, reflect on global challenges such as climate change, and form informed opinions. They leave as curious, responsible global citizens - ready for secondary school with confidence and ambition.
Explore the local area together, use maps, visit landmarks and observe parks and shops. Talk about the weather, follow news stories and discuss climate change. Encouraging curiosity about different places, people and environments makes a real difference.
