Geography

Our Geography curriculum at St John’s inspires in our pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Our Geography curriculum is carefully designed to teach pupils about diverse places, people, resources, and natural and human environments and provide them with a deep understanding of the earth’s key physical and human processes.

Through the teaching of Geography, our pupils’ growing knowledge about the world helps to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.  Our high- quality Geography curriculum ensures that pupils have the necessary geographical skills needed to collect, analyse and communicate a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork and develop their use of geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to enhance their locational and place knowledge
