Geography Specific Intent:

Our Geography curriculum provision is ambitious and designed for all pupils. It is coherently planned and sequenced towards cumulatively providing the necessary knowledge and skills for the pupils’ future to empower them to take their role as informed and active citizens in the 21st century. Its emphasis is not just on geographical knowledge but also skills and concepts. It has the same challenging academic ambitions for all pupils. They all work from a shared starting point to answer the same key questions. It is designed to explicitly link with wider learning such as history and our key texts for literature in order to develop their key vocabulary.
