Geography Curriculum at St. Catherine’s C.E. Primary School
At St. Catherine’s, our Geography curriculum is designed to provide a broad and balanced education that equips pupils with the skills, knowledge, and understanding needed for their future lives.
Curriculum Focus
Expanding World Knowledge: We believe that deepening children’s understanding of the world is essential. This not only supports their development as readers and learners but also fosters greater aspirations as they explore and understand their environment.
Understanding Geography’s Role: Central to our curriculum is the recognition that geography plays a crucial role in understanding the world. It helps us grasp the rapidly changing environmental and social challenges that people face globally and provides insights into effective strategies for addressing these challenges.
Educational Goals
Our Geography education aims to:
- Develop Critical Skills: Enhance creativity, independence, judgment, self-reflection, problem-solving, reliability, responsibility, and resilience.
- Support Personal Growth: Contribute to the overall development of children, including their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
- Foster Global Awareness: Prepare pupils to engage thoughtfully with global issues and understand the interconnectedness of environmental and social factors.
By integrating these elements into our Geography curriculum, we ensure that children not only acquire essential geographic knowledge but also develop the personal attributes and skills necessary to navigate and contribute positively to a rapidly changing world.
