Geography

At Mattishall Primary School we intend to bring the world near and far, and its people similar and diverse, closer to our children.

We believe that Geography should help to inspire and provide answers to questions about the physical and human aspects of our world. We want our children to understand that Geography is about Place (Where somewhere is in relation to others and what type of place it is), Space (What it is like there) and People (What people do there).

Children are encouraged to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, starting with their sense of place within it so they can identify and appreciate similarities and differences and how they came to be.

Our curriculum intends to develop knowledge and skills that are transferable to other curriculum areas and which can and are used to promote their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
