Intent:
Geography ensures that students are able to interpret and understand the diverse, dynamic and ever-changing world around them. It is important that students “see” the geography everywhere they go and are able to acquire a sense of place through experiential learning which then leads to a sense of wider global citizenship.
It is vital to ensure that there is a balance between human, physical and environmental geographical elements and enquiry based skills.
Geography is a broad and diverse subject area encompassing a wide range of elements from economic and political systems to geomorphological processes that have shaped our landscape and future global concerns.
Geography also incorporates the study of global cultures, societies and ethics helping our students to develop a broad understanding of the world and consequently this allows them to develop tolerance and inclusivity.
