Geography
"Without geography you're nowhere."
Jimmy Buffet, American singer-songwriter.
In our school, the teaching of Geography inspires a curiosity and fascination about the world. We focus on enabling children to be 'Geographers'. Our curriculum ensures a geographical knowledge about diverse places, resources and natural and human environments and processes. Geographical knowledge is taught alongside the development of subject specific skills including; conducting field work, collecting data and interpreting what we have gathered.
Our Geography is taught through a topic-based approach, it provides a means of exploring, appreciating and understanding the world in which we live. Through geographical enquiry and application of skills, our pupils are given opportunities to develop an awareness of their immediate surroundings, other places and how people use the environment. We want all pupils to develop a respect for other people different from themselves and their environments. Geography helps inspire pupils to think about their own place in the world and their responsibilities to others and the environment.
