Geography Intent
Through the teaching of geographical skills, knowledge and understanding of the National Curriculum, we provide high- quality geography education which inspires pupils’ curiosity and fascination with the world and the people who live in it. Geography is an exciting, relevant subject, which can be seen in action in the daily lives of our pupils. There are many cross-curricular links to ensure pupils are able to see their subject in the context of themselves, their community and the wider world. We recognise the importance of our children having a knowledge and understanding of the wider world, to broaden their horizons and to recognise and appreciate a life and opportunities outside of Kenn. Throughout the curriculum, we aim to develop knowledge and skills that are progressive and transferrable not just throughout their time at Kenn, but beyond into further education and the world of work. Being mindful of the school’s priority to have high aspirations for all pupils and wishing to promote our values, we use our local area and local geography to show that everyone, no matter what their background, is able to achieve their goals and dreams. The national curriculum has been carefully divided into long term plans with an emphasis on our local area, in order to promote enthusiasm for geography and to support the needs of our pupils. Our long term plans set out objectives that link and build on prior knowledge and understanding. The teaching of geographical vocabulary is continually embedded, reinforced and revisited throughout all lessons, as our geography flows through other curriculum subjects.
