Geography

“The study of geography is about more than just memorising places on a map. It’s about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it’s about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together.” – Barack Obama

At The Meadow, we want our children to develop a deep and curious interest in the world around them; understanding their place in the world through a widening geographical perspective, both locally and globally.

Children will have a well-rounded knowledge and understanding of diverse people, places, resources and natural and human features, coupled with an understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As pupils progress in their learning across the school, their prior knowledge should help them to deepen their understanding of how humans and physical geographical processes interact.

We want children to have the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills through rich learning experiences in the classroom and through fieldwork and educational visits.
