Geography

Geography is a subject that forms a central strand of much of our integrated curriculum here at Thomas Jones, driving many of the units taught. Geography is integrated into the topic structure of the curriculum, however the following principles, drawn from the 2014 National Curriculum, drive geography here at Thomas Jones:

·         Children are entitled to a high-quality geography education that inspires in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

·         Teaching equips 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.

·         As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them 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 framework and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
