The Rowans Primary Geography Curriculum Intent

Our Primary Geography Curriculum is designed to engage pupils with both physical and human aspects of the world around them. This curriculum enables children to develop lifelong learning, equipping children with the essential geographical skills they will utilize for the rest of their lives. By nurturing a fascination about the world, the geographical association plays a crucial role in shaping informed and curious global citizens. Through a variety of interactive and hands-on learning experiences, our curriculum encourages pupils to explore diverse environments, cultures, and societies. We incorporate field trips, virtual explorations, and project-based learning to provide real-world contexts that make geography relevant and exciting. Students will learn to interpret maps, analyse data, and understand the relationships between people and their environments, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Ultimately, our Primary Geography Curriculum aims to inspire a sense of wonder about the planet and motivate students to become active participants in their communities and beyond. By fostering a strong foundation in geography, we are preparing our pupils to navigate an increasingly interconnected world with confidence and responsibility.
