Geography

Welcome to our Geography page.

At Penwortham Primary School our Geography curriculum encourages pupil’s curiosity and fascination about our world and those who live in it. Our aim is for all children to understand the world in which they live, both locally and the world beyond and an appreciation of the natural world. This vision is achieved by giving pupils the opportunity to explore the surroundings and environments around them, and those in the wider world along with a variety of human and physical features and through development of a geographical vocabulary. Pupils will develop an appreciation for the similarities and differences between places and their cultures and the changes through time.

Encourage Aspirational change: Consider issues which face the local community and those on a global scale (eg plastic polution) and consider how all our pupils and strive to be part of a solution. ​

Foster Belonging: To equip students with the knowledge and skills to explore diverse environments, cultures, and geographies, cultivating a sense of belonging to both a local and global community.​

Create Caring and Sustainability Awareness: Recognising our responsibility as citizens to care for the planet and all its inhabitants, emphasising the importance of sustainability and ethical considerations in geographic contexts.​

Discover our local and global world: develop understanding of different places in our own community and around the world. Through thoughtful exploration and investigation (including research, map work and field work), students will discover the interconnections that shape our world, encouraging them to think critically about the social, economic, and environmental challenges we face today.
