Statement of Curriculum Intent Geography – KS1/KS2/KS3/KS4 The Geography curriculum offers an exciting breadth of topics studying the characteristics of the physical and human world in which we live. Studying geography enables students to explore the world around them, investigate how it works, develop curiosity, promote critical thinking all whilst in a safe and nurturing environment. At Brades Lodge, we aim to develop students’ contextual knowledge of their local area as well as the wider environment, allowing them to make links between locations and geographical processes. We aim to empower students to become global citizens who can question actions, have educated viewpoints, make judgements and reflect upon the processes of important current issues like sustainability, climate change and an increasing population. Our Geography curriculum will provide students the opportunity to:
Develop their knowledge of locations, places and environments and of different scales. Gain understanding of the connections between people and environments, and change in places over time. Use a variety of skill and techniques to investigate geographical issues.
