Intent

Geography at Hormead is rooted in our vision of enabling every child to flourish and “have life in all its fullness.” We believe Geography is, by nature, an investigative subject. It helps children make sense of the world God has created and understand their place within it.

At Hormead, we seek to inspire curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with our children for life. We want pupils to develop a deep understanding of diverse places, cultures and environments, and to appreciate where people live and what their lives are like. Through studying both physical and human geography, children learn how landscapes are formed, how natural processes shape our planet, and how human actions positively and negatively affect the Earth.

Our curriculum is carefully sequenced and progressive. From developing early perceptions of the world in EYFS to exploring the wider world in Key Stages 1 and 2, pupils build knowledge and skills that prepare them for further education and for their role as responsible global citizens.
