At Buckingham Primary Academy, we **believe** that our geography curriculum is designed to develop children’s curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. Through **perseverance** and our carefully designed **3D curriculum**, children investigate a range of places – both in Britain and abroad – to help develop their knowledge and understanding of **location and place** (human and physical features and processes), **climate, regions, trade, human-environment interaction** and **geographical skills** and **fieldwork**. We are committed to providing children with opportunities to investigate and make enquiries about their local area of Hull so that they can **achieve** a real sense of who they are, their heritage and what makes our local area unique and special, all while developing their cultural capital. Children **achieve** success through engaging in **retrieval activities** and using their **oracy** skills each lesson by rehearsing their **narrative of learning**, allowing knowledge to be stored in their working memory and enabling pupils to **deepen** their understanding and **form links** in their learning.

Through high quality teaching, we develop the following essential characteristics of geographers;

- An excellent knowledge of **where places are** and what they are like, both in **Britain** and the **wider world**
- A comprehensive understanding of the ways in which places are **interdependent** and **interconnected**
- An extensive base of geographical knowledge and vocabulary
- The ability to reach clear **conclusions** and explain their findings
- The ability to express **well-balanced opinions**, rooted in good knowledge and understanding about current issues in **society** and the **environment**
- A genuine interest in the subject and a real sense of curiosity about the world and the people who live here.
