Geography
At Greenleas every child matters. We want our children to be confident, motivated and independent learners who have respect for others. The rich curriculum is the means of a high-quality education, providing all with good opportunities for enjoyment and achievement.
Geography is an essential part of the curriculum, it provides a means of exploring, appreciating and understanding the world in which we live and how it has evolved. Geography explores the relationship between the Earth and its people through the study of place, space and environment. It contributes to the cultural, social, spiritual and moral life of children as they acquire knowledge of a range of different cultures and traditions, and learn tolerance and understanding of other people and environments. Geography is the subject in which pupils learn the skills of understanding a locality and how and where people fit into its overall structure. Developing geographical skills is essential as children live in a world that is wide open to them.
We recognise that our curriculum planning must allow pupils to gain a progressively deeper understanding and competency as they move through the school. We aim to provide all pupils with equal access to a rich, broad, balanced and differentiated creative Geography curriculum matched well to their ages, abilities, interests, aptitudes and special needs.
