Geography
Vision
At Seaford Primary we seek to inspire curiosity, respect and fascination about the world and its people. We hope this will remain with our learners for the rest of their lives.
We promote a wide knowledge and understanding of our world and the people and cultures that live in it. This develops respect for both the animal and physical world.
The importance of Geography
Geography contributes to all our lives. It explores the relationship between the earth and its people. Children need to learn about their local area as well as other regions of the world. This helps them to develop tolerance and understanding of others. They should understand that we are the current keepers of our planet and that we need to look after it.
Geography at Seaford Primary School
We mainly teach geography through our Learning Adventure work. This is often through enquiry based activities.
We encourage our children to ask questions and find answers to them. They take part in a wide variety of problem-solving activities.
It offers a progressive sequence - pupils build on their skills as they move through the school. Geography units are planned into sequenced lessons, which follow the skills and concepts required by the National Curriculum. As a result, pupils at Seaford Primary are equipped with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a secure understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.
Our learners move into secondary school with an appreciation of how places evolve and link to each other as well as a holistic understanding of the world.
