our approach to ks1 and ks2 geography and History
Our vision is to raise the profile of geography and history in primary schools.
We aim to help you, as teachers, to nurture the enthusiastic, knowledgeable geographers and historians of the future, and inspire your pupils to be curious about the world, both past and present.
We do this by helping teachers like yourself deliver an outstanding curriculum, that meets the requirements of the National Curriculum and ensures skill progression. With our many years of teaching experience and passion for our subjects, why not work with us to create a special and unique curriculum for your school!?

On each key, you’ll find everything you need to teach the subject area you’ve chosen, including objective links, subject information, activities, worksheets, maps, images and PowerPoint presentations, as well as learning outcomes.
