Geography 

Geography is challenging, motivating, topical and fun. In our diverse society, our children need to understand other people and cultures and we believe therefore, that geographical knowledge, concepts and skills are essential components of a broad and balanced curriculum and make a major contribution to children's intellectual, social and emotional development. At Richard Whittington Primary School, a high-quality geography education will inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people which will equip them with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world will help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. We also aim to ensure that children have a wide knowledge of the world and their own human impact on it and that they have the skills to collect and communicate this with others.
