Intent
At Knowle Park, Geography encourages a curiosity and fascination about the world we live in. Children are inspired to ask questions and find answers about the world around them, applying the geographical skills and knowledge they have been taught. Our children will leave our school with an excitement to further explore and become responsible global citizens with an understanding of the importance of sustainability and the environment. Children will be provided with opportunities to improve skills through trial and error within a supportive environment.
Through the curriculum, pupils will gain an understanding of where they are within the UK and the world, cultivating a sense of belonging and togetherness. They will learn about and use the local area to draw comparisons with other localities and will build an awareness of global issues, recognize diversity and understand that people have a different quality of life living in different locations and environments. Pupils will also develop skills in using fieldwork to observe, measure and record.
