GEOGRAPHY

At St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe Primary School, it is our intention that Geography will inspire pupils with a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. We offer opportunities for children to explore the world in order to develop an understanding of the human and physical world in which they live in and their place within it. We aim to promote the children’s interest and understanding about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. Geography will promote children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development helping them to have a greater understanding of their place in the world, and their rights and responsibilities to other people and the environment. We encourage the children to ask questions about the world and provide opportunities for them to develop geographical skills and knowledge to be able to answer them. Pupils are encouraged to use and interpret a wide range of sources of geographical information including maps, diagrams, globes and aerial photographs to locate and describe places, gather information and explain variations and changes.
