Intent

Geography enables pupils to learn about many aspects of the contemporary world at different scales (local to global). The past world provides context for the present world and then geographers predict on to the future. The potential range of material to study is vast! In this curriculum, we have selected and woven together important geographical themes (such as settlement, rivers, sustainability) with place studies (such as North Wales, UK, South America) and case studies (such as deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest) to give a comprehensive grounding in geography. The  curriculum provides carefully structured knowledge about our complex world for Key Stage 2 pupils. It meets and exceeds geography requirements in the National Curriculum for England and provides an excellent foundation for Key Stage 3 and GCSE. The overall goal in the  curricula is broad, thorough, diverse and coherent knowledge, so that by the end of their schooling, all pupils can orient themselves in the world.
