At Hemlington Hall Academy, we instil a curiosity and fascination about the world in all of our children – its diverse people, places, resources and its natural and human environments. This understanding is used to develop critical thinking and an appreciation of how physical and human processes interact to shape landscapes and environments over time, and the potential impact of these interactions in the future so that our children become active citizens in preservation and protection.
Intent
- Children to know that geography is a subject – focussing on learning about the world’s locations and the reasons they are as they are (including the impact of humans).
- Understand that ‘field work’ is at the heart of geography – observing and learning first hand
- Understand that geography and science are closely linked – with evidence generally leading to facts being established
- Know their place in the world – where they live and how that fits in to the wider world
- Know the key knowledge identified in each unit, so that they have a firm knowledge base for leaving primary school
