'Making sense of our surroundings'
The document that can be accessed below sets out Tudor Primary’s approach to the content and organisation of geography in accordance with national curriculum and the school’s thematic approach.
At Tudor, we are committed to providing all pupils with high-quality opportunities to access all areas of the geography curriculum. Geography is an essential part of the curriculum that provides a focus for understanding world environments, expanding knowledge of different places, the relationship between people and the earth, and developing practical and fieldwork skills.
‘A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip pupils 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.’
