By the end of Key Stage Two children will have been introduced to and researched local history, events beyond living memory, the lives of significant individuals, British history beyond 1066, earliest civilizations and a non-European society which contrasts with British History. #### **Our Geography Intent:** Our Geography curriculum enables our children to become competent in the geographical skills needed to collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes. With high quality teaching and resources children are taught to interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes and aerial photographs as well as communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills. By the end of Key Stage Two our pupils will have studied processes that influence weather and climates, mountains, volcanoes & earthquakes, lakes & rivers, towns & cities, natural resources, food & farming, habitats and trade. There is also a strong emphasis on geographical facts, with the children being able to name and locate zones around the world, hot and cold regions, continents and oceans as well as human and physical features of the four countries of the UK ### Our School - [Parent Handbook](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/parents/parent-handbook) - [Admissions](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Nursery](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/nursery) - [School Day](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/school-day) - [Our Curriculum Intent](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/our-school-curriculum) - [Our School Curriculum ](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/curriculum) - [SEND](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/send) - [Before and After school care](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/care-club) - [Safeguarding](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [E-Safety](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/esafety) - [Ofsted & SIAMS Reports](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-report) - [KS1 & KS2 Assessment](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/ks1-ks2-assessment) - [Performance Tables](https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/146863/anson-cofe-primary-school/primary) - [Pupil Premium](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/pupil-premium) - [Sports Premium](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/sports-premium) - [Data Protection](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/data-protection) - [The Staffordshire Schools Multi Academy Trust](https://www.tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/) ![Anson CE Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/anson-ce-primary-school/images/logo/anson-footer-logo.png) ### Anson CE Primary School Main Road Great Haywood Staffordshire ST18 0SU 01889 881200 © Copyright 2019–2026 Anson CE Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://anson.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
