Intent

• Pupils are encouraged to have a curiosity for the world around them and understand that to become true geographers they must ask investigative questions, why?
• The Geography curriculum is designed to develop skills and knowledge that are progressive as well as transferrable.
• All pupils can access the Geography curriculum appropriate to their needs- support for specific pupils can be provided, with consideration to children who require further challenge.
• Pupils develop skills and knowledge that are transferrable to other curriculum areas and which can and are used to promote their moral, social and cultural development.
• We aim to ensure that when pupils leave us, they will have an inherent fascination and care for the world and its people.
• Pupils will have the knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments.
• Pupils will have a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.
• Pupil’s growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes.
• Pupils will develop local, national and international knowledge of the world, including their defining physical and human characteristics.
• Pupils will learn about their local area and town and how it has changed over time.
• They will develop their knowledge and understanding of different countries in the world.
