Primary Geography Subject Leader Network Meetings
We would like to invite primary Geography Subject Leaders to attend a series of 3 network meetings that will take place over the course of the academic year. The meetings will be a fantastic opportunity to meet colleagues from different schools, share good practice and discuss current research and initiatives.
The sessions will be run by Pete Dickinson, the Geography Lead at Alex Mcleod, as part of the work with RBG EYFS/Primary Strategy Group. Pete has experience of teaching and leading Geography at both primary and secondary schools and is passionate about working with other Geography leads across Greenwich.
The sessions will include: 
  • Opportunities for leaders to reflect on their leadership of Geography and identify areas to develop back in school
  • Collaborate and share best practice with Geography leads across Greenwich
  • A close look at progression of different strands of Geography from EYFS to YR7
  • A deep understanding of substantive and disciplinary subject knowledge
  • Understanding what excellence looks like
  • Online opportunities to keep in touch between sessions
We encourage subject leaders from all Greenwich primary schools and with all levels of experience to join us. KS3 Geography teachers/leads are welcome to attend.

'WORD UP' Approach

The Word Up approach is suitable for children working significantly below the Key Stage standards and not responding successfully to the traditional 'synthetic phonics' methods. This is a whole word reading and language development approach, particularly suitable for children who are visual learners.

Pupils:

  • with visual strengths, but difficulties with the 'synthetic phonics' approach, will have access to an alternative approach to reading

Staff will:

  • understand why a whole word approach to reading may be more effective for some pupils
  • know how to deliver Word Up style activities
