Geography

As part of the GLA, Great Oldbury Primary Academy strives for a geography curriculum which enthuses pupils through practical and knowledge driven lesson content. The curriculum aims to enable children to use physical and human geographical skills to explore their locality and gain an appreciation of the awe and wonder of the world.  

Teachers are encouraged to provide children with enriching opportunities that enable them to become curious learners. They will do this by taking part in fieldwork; using a range of presenting, reporting and map skills to communicate their findings through geographical vocabulary. The geography curriculum is designed to build on children’s cultural capital, through developing knowledge of different cultures and countries around the world through respectful questioning.  

Aspiration sits at the heart of geography. Children will know the impacts humans can have on the physical world. They will be inspired by significant explorers and campaigners to understand the influence that individuals may have on the planet, both in the present day and the future.
