Our Curriculum Intention

Geography at Marlfields

We teach Geography in a consistent and carefully sequenced way across the school. Each lesson begins by identifying that it is a Geography session and by recapping prior learning, helping children connect new knowledge to what they already know. This ensures learning is progressive and builds towards each lesson’s objective. Our lesson flow is followed in every class to provide clarity, structure and continuity.
Marlfields Geography Lesson Flow

Key geographical vocabulary has been mapped out for every year group and each topic. This language is taught explicitly to support our budding geographers in understanding new concepts with confidence. Important vocabulary from previous years is revisited whenever it is needed to access new learning, ensuring children develop a strong and secure geographical vocabulary as they move through school.
