Geography Intent:

The aim of the Geography Curriculum is to develop a broad, balanced, and ambitious curriculum, which supports and goes beyond the National Curriculum. As staff want to develop young adults who foster a love of learning and understand how past Geographical events have influenced the society that we live in and how present actions will impact the future of our planet.

Our aim in geography is to teach a broad and challenging curriculum to inspire a love of the subject inside and outside the classroom. We aim to encourage students to enjoy their learning and to achieve as students that enjoy and achieve leave the classroom being validated and wanting to study further. We follow the National Curriculum at Key Stage 3 but overall maintain breadth of curriculum and application to places both local and worldwide. At Key Stage 4, we aim to develop students’ investment in the subject whilst acknowledging the demands of the exam syllabi and the importance of student achievement. Our major curriculum aims are:

• Broad
• Preparation for next level
• Inspirational
• Challenging
• Developing
• Relevant
