Geography

Curriculum Intent - Geography:

Everything you do is geography.  We aim to inspire pupils to develop a curiosity and fascination about the world, provoking and providing answers to geographical questions.  They will learn about the connections between themselves, the environment and wider geographical issues through developing their conceptual knowledge of place, physical and human processes, interdependence, sustainability and cultural diversity.  Geography creates pupils who have a deep knowledge of the world and their place within it through experiences inside and outside the classroom.  At a time of great change, the development of good geographers has never been more critical.
