At Newquay Junior our geography curriculum aims to inspire a curiosity about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
Through explicit teaching of the National Curriculum, the Newquay Junior geography curriculum will provide pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.
Geography at Newquay Junior will allow pupils to improve their growing knowledge about the world and to help them to develop their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments.

Our pupils follow the Opening Worlds curriculum which is characterised by strong vertical sequencing within subjects (so that pupils gain security in a rich broad vocabulary through systematic introduction, sustained practice, and deliberate revisiting) and by intricate horizontal and diagonal connections, thus creating a curriculum whose effects are far greater than the sum of their parts. Each theme has an enquiry statement or question which will inform the components of knowledge that allow them to make connections and reach informed conclusions. Children will use a range of carefully curated resources from the Opening Worlds curriculum alongside maps/aerial photos and core subject-specific vocabulary to secure and gain understanding.
