geography at Featherstone All Saints
Curriculum Intent
| At Featherstone All Saints CofE Academy, Geography is the study of the Earth: its physical features and atmosphere, and how human activity affects these. We believe that Geography is a powerful tool for fostering growth in our students, allowing them to connect with the world on a local, national, and global level. |
| We recognise the vital role of Geography within the curriculum, and we strive to cultivate a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of our planet and the importance of making informed choices about its future. Our carefully planned and sequenced curriculum provides a rich foundation for developing children's geographical knowledge and skills, embedding these in their long-term memory. |
| We foster an environment where children are curious and engaged, providing practical, immersive, and hands-on experiences that nurture independence and fluency. Through interactive learning opportunities, including trips and visits, we aim to cultivate a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around them. |
| By the time our children leave Featherstone All Saints, they will be equipped with the geographical vocabulary, knowledge, and skills to flourish in a rapidly changing world. They will have a deep understanding of the Earth's key physical and human processes, the ability to conduct meaningful enquiries, and the confidence to analyse and communicate geographical data. |
| Most importantly, our children will develop a profound sense of responsibility for the environment, recognising their choices and their impact on the planet. They will understand that they have a role to play in shaping a sustainable future for generations to come. |
| At Featherstone All Saints, we are committed to ensuring that every pupil, regardless of their needs and abilities, grows and flourishes as geographers. We aim to equip them with the life skills and cultural capital necessary to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. |
