Curriculum Intent
Our pupils will explore the relationship and interactions between people and the environments in which they live and upon which they and all life on Earth depends. We focus on geography at a personal, national and global scale. We have established a school curriculum plan for geography as an entitlement for all pupils that is: aspirational, logical, relevant, broad and balanced, sequenced, progressively more challenging, built upon continuity and is inclusive.
How are we raising standards for our children?
- High-quality teaching for all children across the school. Peer observations will ensure consistency across the year group.
- End of unit, assessment of knowledge is used to ensure that information has ‘stuck’ and gaps are filled.
- Provision of a well-researched and well-resourced scheme of learning that ensures that teachers can implement our curriculum intent.
