At Thurnby Mead we take pride in offering a comprehensive Geography curriculum that is designed to inspire and engage our pupils. We use the Kapow Scheme, which employs a spiral curriculum, ensuring that students revisit and build upon their knowledge as they progress through their education. This method not only deepens their understanding but also fosters a sense of continuity in their learning journey.
Our curriculum is centred around enquiry-based questions that encourage students to explore and critically analyse our diverse world. Through the use of maps and atlases, children develop essential problem-solving skills, enabling them to interpret geographical data effectively.
Moreover, recognising the richness of our pupils, we have tailored our Geography curriculum to celebrate this diversity. By integrating various cultural perspectives and geographical contexts, we seek to cultivate a deeper appreciation and respect for our global community.

Impact
Geography teaches an understanding of places and environments. Here at Thurnby Mead Primary Academy, children learn about their local area, and they compare their life in this area, with that in other regions in the United Kingdom and in the rest of the world. They learn how to draw and interpret maps, and they develop the skills of research, investigation, analysis and problem-solving. Through their growing knowledge and understanding of human geography, children gain respect and an appreciation of life in other cultures. Geography teaching also motivates children to find out about the physical world and enables them to recognise the importance of sustainable development for the future of mankind.
