Primary Geography
The Benefits of Studying Primary Geography
Our Primary Geography homeschooling course aims to inspire your child with a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
This course covers the requirements of the UK Key Stage 2 English National Curriculum over 4 years and aims for children to:
- Develop knowledge of the location of globally significant places, as well as their defining physical and human characteristics.
- Understand the processes that give rise to the key physical and human geographical features of the world, and how these vary over space and time.
- Become competent in a wide range of geographical skills.
Once completed, our Primary Geography homeschooling course lays the foundations for children to transition smoothly to our Secondary Geography course.

There is so much to learn about the incredible world we live in. Visual learning interests me. We all see and learn new things in different ways. Visual learning helps children see information to learn it.

Geography and Environmental Management are such important subjects, especially today! They teach us what the world we live in is like, how it came to be this way and what it may look like in the future.

I cannot praise Geography enough: such a fantastic course, so clever and challenging in a positive way! Natalia found it the hardest but also absorbing, especially the topic on population. Thank you again for this year. I don’t think there is a better way to educate a child.
