Geography at Sacred Heart

“Geography is the tapestry that weaves the world together.”

Gil Grosvenor

Intent

Within our teaching of Geography, we want to ensure that all pupils are given the opportunity to develop experiences and understanding of the world, inspiring and igniting their curiosity about the wider world, not just their local areas. Our children are naturally eager to learn about the world around them and our aim is to promote and nurture that curiosity. We aspire for all children to be skilled, active learners who want to explore and investigate people, places and the environment, who enjoy and value the variety they see about them whilst considering equality and the future of our planet.

Our Geography curriculum helps children to recognise and value our interdependence with other people in their own area and in the wider world, and to appreciate the diversity evident in the world among peoples and environments. Geography takes forward children’s understanding and appreciation of places, of their importance to us, of our impact on them and of how we can manage and develop our world.
