“Geography is a subject that holds the key to our future.” – Michael Palin
At Colebourne, our aims for our geography curriculum is to provide a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum; ensure the progressive development of geographical concepts, knowledge and skills; and for the children to develop a love for geography.
The key substantive concepts in geography are as follows:
- Geographical skills and fieldwork
- Locational knowledge
- Human and physical geography
- Place knowledge
We aim for a geography curriculum which should inspire pupils and spark a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people, which will remain with them for the rest of their lives. It is vital we promote the children’s interest and understanding of diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. We also want children to develop geographical skills: collecting and analysing data; using maps, globes, aerial photographs and digital mapping to name and identify countries, continents and oceans; and communicating information in a variety of ways.
