At Newquay Primary Academy, we have designed a geography curriculum to ensure it is fully inclusive to every child. Our aims are to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for Geography; providing a broad curriculum that ensures the progressive development of geographical knowledge and skills.
In Key Stage 2 our pupils follow the Opening Worlds curriculum which is characterised by strong vertical sequencing within subjects (so that pupils gain security in a rich broad vocabulary through systematic introduction, sustained practice, and deliberate revisiting) and by intricate horizontal and diagonal connections, thus creating a curriculum whose effects are far greater than the sum of their parts. Each theme has an enquiry statement or question which will inform the components of knowledge that allow them to make connections and reach informed conclusions. Children will use a range of carefully curated resources from the Opening Worlds curriculum alongside maps/aerial photos and core subject-specific vocabulary to secure and gain understanding.
