Our geography curriculum is designed to generate a passion for the subject that leads to continued enquiry, future personal interest and possibly careers relating to this area of study. Ultimately, we develop the children’s sense of responsibility for the care of the Earth and its people.
We aim to enable children to gain knowledge of their locality and the processes which have changed their world. We seek opportunities to look beyond our own boundaries and encourage children to make comparisons between the environment and communities at a local, national and global level.
Progressive study units support the improvement and retention of factual knowledge of geographical features throughout the world (e.g. oceans, continents).
An enquiry approach to the subject provides the ability to investigate, analyse, evaluate and communicate findings and opinions.
As well as knowledge, we aim to develop specific geographical skills through the use of maps, atlases and measuring equipment.
