With high quality teaching and resources children are taught to interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) as well as communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length. 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. ### Geography Curriculum Our Geography Skills Coverage 852 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/files/documents/Geographical_skills_coverage.pdf) Our Geography Long Term Plan 892 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/files/documents/Full_Geography_Curriculum.docx.pdf) ### Geography [![](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/geography/IMG-1161.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/images/gallery/geography/IMG-1161.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/geography/IMG-0554.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/images/gallery/geography/IMG-0554.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/standon-bowers-2022/8109BA3C-8713-4A7A-A580-083C2E7F22F2.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/images/gallery/standon-bowers-2022/8109BA3C-8713-4A7A-A580-083C2E7F22F2.jpeg) --- **Because of our History and Geography curriculum, Richard Crosse children are:** ### ![](https://www.st-marys-colton.staffs.sch.uk/images/gallery/citizens-of-the-future/Future%20citizens%20(1).PNG)![](https://www.st-marys-colton.staffs.sch.uk/images/gallery/team-players/Team%20players.PNG)![](https://www.st-marys-colton.staffs.sch.uk/images/gallery/inquisitive-and-active-learners/Inquisitive.PNG) ### Our School - [Admissions](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Pre-School](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/nursery) - [Pupil and Parent Voice](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/testimonials) - [School Day](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/school-day) - [Curriculum](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/curriculum) - [Safeguarding](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [Ofsted](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted) - [SIAMS](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/siams) - [KS1 & KS2 Assessment](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/ks1-ks2-assessment) - [Performance Tables](https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/142096/the-richard-crosse-cofe-primary-school/primary) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/pupil-premium) - [Sports Premium](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/sports-premium) - [Data Protection](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/data-protection) - [SEND](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/send) - [The Staffordshire Schools MAT](https://www.tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/) - [Esafety](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/esafety) - [Worship](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/worship) - [Courageous Advocacy ](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/worship/courageous-advocacy) - [School History](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/school-history) - [Spiritual Development ](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/spiritual-development) - Wraparound Care - [Wraparound Care Information](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/care-club) - [Music](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/our-school/curriculum/music) - [Spelling Bee](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/children/spelling-bee) ![Richard Crosse Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/richard-crosse-primary-school/images/logo/Richard-crosse-footer-logo.png) ### Richard Crosse Primary School Kings Bromley Burton on Trent Staffordshire DE13 7JE 01543 472245 © Copyright 2019–2026 Richard Crosse Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
