Geography

Intent

“An understanding of the natural world is a source of not only great curiosity, but great fulfilment."

David Attenborough

At Great Bradfords Junior School, we believe that geography should inspire a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people which our pupils will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

By developing a greater understanding of diverse places, people and resources, within natural and human environments, together with an understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes, our pupils will gain an appreciation of their own place within the world and their responsibility for looking after it in the future. Our curriculum strives to develop the pupils’ geographical skills and knowledge so that they are inquisitive, enthusiastic and confident at each stage and are ready for the curriculum at Key Stage 3.

A range of purposeful practical activities, including fieldwork, trips and visits by experts makes learning geography exciting and engaging.
