Geography Statement of Intent

At Lowerhouse Junior School it is our intent to ensure all pupils develop an eagerness to learn and discover new knowledge through geography. We hope children will have a good understanding of what geography means and that the study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these, will inspire children to show curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. We hope children will become equipped with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with an understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. We hope that as children progress, through high quality geography lessons, children will be enabled to learn not only about the world but also how it works, how it fits together and how to make a difference and become positive contributors to it.
