Geography Champion

Mrs O'Boyle is our subject champion for Geography here at Lane End. She is passionate about this area of the curriculum and is determined to make learning in Geography come 'alive' so that our children are engaged and enthused about it. She has thought carefully about the design of the Lane End Geography curriculum and has built learning themes and topics that are to be taught in each year group that covers all aspects of the National Curriculum and meets the needs of our learners. 

Our students will gain a broad understanding of geography, building their knowledge, vocabulary, and skills year by year as they progress through school. Mrs. O'Boyle is passionate about helping children connect with their local area and see how it fits into the larger global context. She aims for them to develop practical fieldwork and mapping skills, while also recognising how geography plays a vital role in our everyday lives.

Below is an overview of our Lane End Geography curriculum. Included in this is a short summary of what the curriculum content each topic or theme covers, and then highlights the key objectives the children will work towards in each year group. These key objectives develop the children's knowledge, skills, understanding, and build and progress each year.

There is also an example of a topic 'Guide on a Page'. Here you will see some of the key  geographical knowledge and vocabulary they will learn and understand through the work they do.
