We want to inspire our children to look at the world and its people with curiosity, encouraging them to reflect upon its diversity. We want them to consider their place within the world in respect of their own identity and the challenges of their time.
We want them to ‘get out and about’ as much as possible to build their geographical skills and knowledge about the Earth’s features and develop a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As our children progress through school, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments.
Achievements
We want our children to achieve by:
- understanding the Earth’s key physical and human processes,
- understanding the relationship and impact the human and physical processes have on each other,
- understand how diverse the world and it’s people are,
- understanding where they live and how that sits within the wider world.
Choices
To make children aware they have choices through:
- understanding their impact on the environment and the environments of others,
- understanding the opportunities to explore the world and its people.
Enjoyment
To enjoy Geography our children need:
- to have a curiosity about the world and its people,
- to explore the built and natural environments in their own locality and further afield.
