Throughout key stage 1 and 2 teaching ensures that geographical enquiry and skills are used when developing knowledge and understanding of places, patterns and processes and environmental change and sustainable development.
Pupils within key stage 1 and 2 work on the guidelines set by the National Curriculum. The importance of geography is also set out in this document:
"Geography provokes and answers questions about the natural and human worlds, using different scales of enquiry to view them from different perspectives. It develops knowledge of places and environments throughout the World, an understanding of maps and a range of investigative and problem-solving skills both inside and outside the classroom. As such, it prepares pupils for adult life and employment. Geography is a focus within the curriculum for understanding and resolving issues about the environment and sustainable development. It is also, an important link between the natural and social sciences. As pupils study geography, they encounter different societies and cultures. This helps them realise how nations rely on each other. It can inspire them to think about their own place in the World, their values and their rights and responsibilities to other people and the environment."
