Geography at Lee Chapel
Vision
At Lee Chapel, we believe geography should inspire curiosity, deepen understanding of the world, and empower pupils to think critically about their place within it. Through engaging, meaningful learning experiences, we aim to nurture informed, responsible global citizens who appreciate the diversity and complexity of the planet.
Aims
Geography is an investigative discipline that enables children to develop a secure understanding of key concepts, knowledge and skills. At Lee Chapel, we provide a broad and balanced geography curriculum that fosters curiosity and a lasting fascination with the world.
- Places and people
- Environmental resources
- Physical and human processes
- The formation and use of landscapes
In addition, geography supports pupils in developing transferable skills such as enquiry, analysis and critical thinking. These skills enhance learning across the wider curriculum while contributing to pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development.
Our Approach
To ensure high standards of teaching and learning, our geography curriculum is carefully sequenced and progressive across all year groups.
- Exploring food, music and traditions from different cultures
- Investigating local and global environments
- Developing fieldwork and enquiry skills
- Measure progress
- Identify misconceptions
- Plan next steps in learning
Impact
- Demonstrate secure understanding of geographical concepts
- Apply enquiry and analytical skills confidently
- Show enthusiasm and curiosity about the world
As a result, pupils leave Lee Chapel well-prepared for Key Stage 3 and equipped with the knowledge, skills and awareness needed to engage thoughtfully with the wider world.
