How it works

To ensure a coherent approach to the progression of skills and knowledge in KS1 for the Geography scheme of work, it is best to follow the units in the order set out.

The national curriculum organises the attainment targets for Geography under:

  • Place knowledge.
  • Human and physical geography.
  • Geographical skills and fieldwork.

These strands run through each and every unit in the scheme.  If you decide to adapt or omit a unit use
