Geography
‘Geography teaching and learning should be an enjoyable, creative, stimulating and magical experience for pupils and teachers alike.’ Paula Richardson
Through the teaching of geography, we aim to;
- inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world
- define physical and human characteristics of places of study
- give experience of fieldwork to deepen pupil’s knowledge and understanding of geographical processes
- develop pupil’s ability to collect and analyse a range of data
- ensure pupils can interpret a range of sources of geographical information including globes, maps, diagrams and aerial photographs
- provide opportunities to gain knowledge of other cultures, and in doing so become aware of what it means to be a global citizen
- allow pupils to learn graphic skills, including how to use, draw and interpret maps
- enable children to know and understand environmental problems at local, regional and global levels
