We are quite fortunate in the village of Mickleton to have a very good resource of features for Geography and History. We use these as a focus as much as we can and this involves visits to local churches, houses and gardens. The children will study these local features and then begin to expand their learning outside the area to other parts of the UK and further a field to locations abroad. The children will be taught various geographical skills such as use of maps, atlas work, coordinates etc. They will also look at weather, climate, population, settlements, natural resources, animals, plants and a great deal of this work is supported by visits and trips to various locations

In Key Stage 1 the children study their own immediate history, thinking about their parents, grandparents and changes, which have occurred in their lifetime. They also learn about stories of famous people and events such as The Great Fire of London and Florence Nightingale. Pupils in Key Stage 2 study a course of history spanning the period from Ancient Egypt to the present.
