Geography

Our intent is to deliver a high-quality Geography curriculum, not just through experiences in the classroom, but also with the use of fieldwork and educational visits, which inspires in pupils a curiosity about the world and its people. We wish to instil a love for Geography in our pupils and develop their knowledge of the world, as well as their place within it. We aim to provide all pupils with opportunities to investigate and build geographical expertise from their local area to the wider world. This includes locational knowledge, understanding of human and physical features and geographical and fieldwork techniques. We will encourage pupils to ask questions and propose solutions to environmental problems within our community and the wider world. Increasing awareness of environmental issues and the impact humans can have aims to encourage pupils to become reflective members of society who are actively invested in protecting and caring for our planet.

How we teach it

Starting with the locality, we prepare our children for the ‘bigger world’ using a broad range of resources.  Our oracy skills are woven into our curriculum and we encourage our children to debate, present and question. Each lesson we aim to feed their curious minds, develop their general knowledge and develop themselves as global citizens of the future.
