Geography
‘Geography is the tapestry that weaves the world together.’
Gil Grosvenor
At St Andrew’s our children are encouraged to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, as well as their place in it. Geography is essentially about understanding the world we live in. It helps to provoke and provide answers to questions about the natural and human aspects of the world. Our Geography curriculum reflects the needs of our children and:
Is progressive in skills and knowledge.
Builds on children’s prior knowledge.
Provides relevant and stimulating learning experiences.
Promotes diversity and inclusion and develops spirituality.
Has vocabulary at the heart of excellent practice.
Develops effective and successful communicators of the future.
Develops love and respect for the world we live in.
Our Geography curriculum allows children to articulate their ideas about both the world and their local area through adaptable and exciting learning opportunities. Children’s curiosity will enable them to explore the world around them. We will be respectful about the world, different cultures and how to preserve the environment for future generations.
