Geography 

Subject Leader: Mrs J Chambers   


Intent


Through our Geography curriculum, we aim to ensure that the national curriculum programmes of study for both Key Stage 1 and 2 are fully covered. 


Our four key themes in Geography are:



We aim to expand geographical vocabulary, increase our children’s knowledge and curiosity of the wider world and promote high aspirations. 


We seek to create a life-long love of the subject, through teaching our children about diverse places, people and resources. Through the study of natural and human environments, as well as physical and human processes, our desire is to provide our children with a sense of awe and wonder about the world they live in. 


As pupils continue on their journey of Geography, we aim to foster a deep understanding of the subject that develops alongside their geographical skills. Our aim is that our children go on to apply these skills across all subjects, as well as in their futures beyond Netherbrook..


Our curriculum is designed to provide our children with the subject specific language they need to describe, question and discuss the world, as well as their place in it. Our pupils are encouraged to recognise that they have a voice and to use it confidently to debate topics that they feel passionate about, for example, deforestation or renewable energy. 


We aim to produce well-rounded individuals by providing our children with opportunities to expand their cultural capital and experiences of the world.
