Geography
Geography is the study of the Earth's physical features, land, water, air, and living things. Geography is also the study of the human features of the world, the diverse places, people, and resources and how these affect and are affected by the natural world.
Vision
Our vision for Geography is to inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Lessons equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources, and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth's key physical and human processes.
We aim to build an awareness of how Geography shapes our lives at multiple scales and over time. Through our high-quality curriculum, pupils develop the confidence to question and observe places, measure and record data in various ways, and analyse and present their findings.
Intent
- For pupils to develop both geographical skills and knowledge, including fieldwork
- All pupils develop critical thinking skills; asking and answering questions, explaining and analysing evidence
- For pupils to develop a deep appreciation for the diversity of people, places, cultures, and environments in the locations studied
- Prepare pupils for future geography learning and careers beyond Malin Bridge.
