Our Curriculum Geography
Geography Statement of Intent
At Cottingley Primary Academy we want each and every child inspired to choose a Remarkable Life and so we have designed our geography curriculum, using Ark+ materials, to reflect this. We want our geography curriculum to provide the children with as many opportunities as possible to enable them to truly find their remarkable. Our school is about creating exciting and engaging learning opportunities for all children, so that they learn to love learning and create really special memories of their time in school.

Our Geography Curriculum
Through our geography curriculum we want to inspire our children with a high level of curiosity and fascination about the world they live in. Our curriculum aims to provide children with a broad knowledge of location, place, physical and human features as well as geographical skills. We also want to provide them with an opportunity to look at the world in more depth, by exploring geographical concepts, practices and application. We have a diverse population of children, who come from a variety of countries and backgrounds and we want each of them to feel involved, included and celebrated for where they come from. Our world is also continuously changing and we want to provide children with a better understanding of what these changes are and how they can help in the future. The geography curriculum helps children develop our key drivers with a strong focus on communication, safe-risk taking, problem solving and confidence to better prepare them for their future.
We want all children at Cottingley Primary Academy to leave in year 6 with a well-rounded understanding of the world around them and to inspire them to be future ambassadors for Earth.
