Geography
What we teach:
How is geography taught?
At Freemantle, we believe that geography should spark curiosity, wonder and a love for learning about the world. We aim to ignite a passion for geography by making lessons meaningful, engaging and relevant to children's lives.
Our teaching approach is enquiry-led: we encourage children to ask thoughtful questions about places, people, and the environment — and equip them with the skills and knowledge to find the answers. Whether exploring their local surroundings or comparing distant locations, pupils develop geographical thinking through hands-on investigation, discussion and exploration.
Fieldwork is a key part of our curriculum. From EYFS through to Year 6, children regularly take part in fieldwork experiences that bring geography to life. These opportunities allow children to observe, collect data, and apply key skills such as mapping, measuring, and comparing environments — helping to embed learning in real-world contexts.
