How will my child's skills progress in Geography?

The Geography Progression of skills and knowledge gives an overview of the skills and knowledge covered in each phase and strand and how these skills are developed in order to enable pupils to reach the end of key stage outcomes outlined in the National curriculum. Within each key stage, knowledge is often introduced at the start of the key stage so that there is time for that knowledge to be revisited and applied in later years which is why knowledge accumulation may look heavier in some year groups than others.

As there are only three units per year group, progression statements in Key stage 2 are shown for lower key stage 2 and upper key stage 2 only and not for individual year groups. Key concepts and knowledge are revisited in different contexts to ensure that pupils have a secure understanding by the end of each phase.
