The National Curriculum - Key Stage 1
Geography
Geography is taught within a topic-based approach. The school works hard to present children with positive images of people throughout the world. Children are encouraged to develop an interest and understanding of the local environment and of contrasting areas in the UK and other countries. They are helped to understand the inter-dependence of people and resources and the relationship between people and landscapes.
Children have numerous opportunities to visit not only the school locality but some localities a little further a field too.
History
Once again this subject area is also taught within a topic-based approach and class teachers seize opportunities to link history with other curriculum areas.
The school is able to draw upon the local environment as a rich source of history and children have opportunities to handle artefacts and investigate a range of other evidence via photographs, stories and the internet.
