Grange Valley Primary & Nursery School

  1. Our Curriculum
  2. Our Geography

At Grange Valley we believe that the learning of Geography should inspire pupils to have a curiosity and fascination about the world and it's people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. 

We believe that Geography helps to prepare our children for life in the 21st century with all its currently unknown possibilities. We love to see children being passionate about where they come from and understand about our beautiful world that we can explore. Keep checking out the website page for updates and seeing some of the brilliant Geography work from the children.

Our curriculum follows the New National Curriculum with Geography being taught both discretely and within other subjects. All lessons incorporate key skills as well as subject specific skills and vocabulary.  

My name is Mrs Dolman and I lead Geography and History at Grange Valley Primary School. My role is crucial in developing history teaching, learning and resources across the school as best to support teachers, motivate pupils, monitor progress and achieve consistently high standards.

I believe that the teaching of Geography should inspire pupils to have a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. By the time our children leave Grange Valley, I wish for them to be responsible global citizens, who have a solid understanding of place and appreciate and respect the diverse cultures and traditions around the world.

We value the children’s input to continuing to refine our curriculum ensuring it meet the needs of every Grange Valley child. The aim of mini leaders is to enhance children’s personal development skill whilst making a positive difference to our school. Teams will meet at least once every half term.
