Geography

At William Stockton, to ‘get better at Geography’ will mean that children learn about their local area and its place in the wider world. They’ll do this through progressively developing their geographical skills and knowledge along with their understanding of ‘how a geographer works and thinks’. Our aim is for children to  develop an interest and an understanding  of the world around them:  developing their knowledge of  Environmental, Locational, Place and knowledge and skills in using fieldwork, globes, maps and plans, map work skills and developing their Geographical vocabulary.

Hello! My name is Mrs Doyle, and I’m excited to be the Geography Subject Lead this year at William Stockton. I have always had a passion for exploring the world around us, and I love learning about different countries and cultures. Travelling is one of my favorite pastimes, and it has deepened my understanding of the diversity and beauty that exists across the globe.

As a teacher and subject lead, I aim to bring this love of discovery into the classroom, inspiring children to be curious about the world and their place in it. I believe geography is a fantastic subject that helps students develop a sense of connection and responsibility to our planet and its people.

Over the past couple of years, the Geography curriculum has been developed and is now finely tuned to suit the needs of the children at our school while covering all of th required knowledge of the National Curriculum. There are clear end points that includes the core knowledge that, we believe, the children need to enjoy Geography, achieve well in Geography and in become a better Geographer. A broad spectrum of the Geography curriculum is delivered in order to accomodate and challenge pupils of all abilities; we adapt our teaching to suit the children's needs.
