Croftlands Junior School
Geography
The majority of work in Geography is taught as part of a class topic and often involves cross-curricular work. There are opportunities for children to take part in field work and investigative activities. Work is carefully planned so that a progression of skills, knowledge and understanding takes place following the National Curriculum.
Intent
A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
