Geography
Children investigate a range of places – both in Britain and abroad – to help develop their knowledge and understanding of the Earth’s physical and human processes. We also develop the children’s ability to confidently communicate their findings and geographical understanding to a range of audiences.
Through inspirational teaching we develop the following essential characteristics of geographers:
-
An excellent knowledge of where places are and what they are like, both in Britain and the wider world.
-
A comprehensive understanding of the ways in which places are interdependent and interconnected.
-
An extensive base of geographical knowledge and vocabulary.
-
Fluency in complex, geographical enquiry and the ability to apply questioning skills, as well as effective presentation techniques.
-
The ability to reach clear conclusions and explain their findings.
-
Excellent fieldwork skills as well as other geographical aptitudes and techniques.
-
The ability to express well-balanced opinions, rooted in very good knowledge and understanding about current issues in society and the environment.
