Our Geography Curriculum Intent 

• To develop knowledge and skills for geographic exploration: We aim to equip pupils with core geographical knowledge and the essential skills to investigate and analyse the world geographically, fostering their ability to observe, record, and interpret geographical information with confidence.

• To explore and compare local and global environments: Our curriculum encourages pupils to investigate their own locality and draw comparisons with diverse locations around the world, deepening their understanding of different cultures, climates, and landscapes.

• To build awareness of diverse maps and their uses: We introduce pupils to a variety of maps and mapping techniques, enabling them to interpret the information these provide and understand their importance in understanding places and environments.

• To develop geographic vocabulary for meaningful engagement: We focus on building a strong foundation in geographic language, empowering pupils to discuss, question, and connect with the world around them using appropriate terminology.

• To express informed opinions about places and people: Our curriculum encourages pupils to think critically about human and physical geography, allowing them to form and articulate their own perspectives on people, places, and environmental issues.

This intent ensures that our geographical education builds not only knowledge and skills but also curiosity, cultural understanding, and the ability to engage thoughtfully with the world.
