The rationale of our geography department is to enable our pupils and students to be informed and conscientious present and future citizens of their world. Our ambition is for pupils to experience a broad, progressive and ambitious Geography curriculum that rich in skills and knowledge. We aim to stimulate curiosity and a wonder of their world in order to enable them to become empowered global citizens, who have a cultural literacy and are prepared for future learning or employment. Our Geography curriculum is designed around the National Curriculum and influenced by the Geographical Association’s manifesto for Geography. It provides opportunities for pupils to develop their geographical skills, knowledge and understanding and progressively develop these as they move through Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. The key geographical concepts that underpin our curriculum include place, interdependence, sustainable development, risk, resilience among others.
