‘A pathway to grow, be curious and discover’
Geography
It is our intent at Homerswood Primary School for the Geography curriculum to provide each pupil with the following:
- Inspire their curiosity, fascination and thinking skills, helping them to gain a broad and balanced view of the world and its people.
- A relevant, broad, vibrant and ambitious curriculum designed to motivate and engage our pupils using a wide variety of topics and themes.
- Help them to achieve their full potential by encouraging high expectations and providing opportunities to explore the ‘Golden Tracks’ that lay the foundation of the whole school curriculum intent through the Geography curriculum.
Allowing pupils to:
- Use and apply their learning in a variety of contexts, laying down solid foundations for future learning.
- Develop knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human processes.
- Deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and the formation and use of landscapes and environments.
