Intent statement
Our aim is to encourage all children to be confident, informed and knowledgeable geographers. We believe that in geography children are engaged and inspired by a well-designed and sequential curriculum to be curious and interested in exploring the world that we live in. Children are encouraged to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, as well as their place in it.
The geography curriculum at Field End Junior School enables children to develop knowledge and skills that are transferable to other curriculum areas and which can and are used to promote their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Our intent, when teaching geography, is to inspire in children a fascination about the world and people within it; to promote the children’s interest and understanding of diverse places, cultures, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. Opportunities will exist for children of all ages to experience learning beyond the classroom.
