Geography is taught in EYFS under the umbrella of ‘Understanding of the World’, which covers the three aspects of physical, human and environmental Geography.

Children acquire the geographical knowledge, vocabulary and skills to explain how the earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time. Strive to ensure that all Geography lessons taught throughout the whole school are inquiry based and promote independent learning.
