Geography

At Whitwick St John the Baptist, Geography can inspire curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. Geography should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

Our Geography curriculum is based on the outcomes set out in the National Curriculum Programme of Study for Geography. We have developed our own scheme of work for Georgaphy. We have developed this scheme of work alongside local experts, as we believe it supports our vision, values and whole school drivers and ensures the subject is taught systematically and progressively.

A copy the national curriculum for Geography can be found below.

Vision

At Whitwick St John the Baptist, Geography enables pupils to understand the local and wider environment to find their way in the world.

Our pupils study people and places and the interaction between them and develop an awareness that the past has lessons for the present and future.

Our Geography curriculum inspires children to look closely at the world around them and develop the skills necessary to be able to interpret what they see.
