Geography

Intent

At Sproatley Endowed CE Academy, we aim to provide a high-quality geography curriculum that inspires pupils with a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. Our teaching prepares children with knowledge about diverse places, people and resources, natural and human environments, an understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes and the formation and use of landscapes. We also aim for our children to develop their geographical skills: collecting and analysing data; interpreting maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and digital mapping to name and identify countries, continents and oceans; and communicating information in a variety of ways. We want our children to develop a love of learning about geography both in the classroom and also through fieldwork and educational visits.

Implementation

In order to ensure high standards of teaching and learning in geography we deliver a progressive curriculum based on the National Curriculum. We follow a two year cycle and teach geography units every other half term, building on prior learning. As well as ensuring geography is taught discretely, we also provide cross-curricular links to give opportunities for children to apply their geographical knowledge in other subjects and use LYFTA to bring the global community to life.
