Curriculum Intent
Our integrated Geography and History curriculum is designed specifically to engage our learners with the world around them.
We intend to provide a subject that is:
- Practical, multi-sensory, and outdoor-rich with cross-curricular links.
- Enhanced and reinforced by lived experience, curiosity, and relevance.
- Designed to build cultural awareness and a sense of belonging.
- Delivered in close collaboration with the Outdoor Education curriculum.
Exploring Our World & Its Stories
Creating meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that help students explore their sense of place, identity, and heritage while developing an appreciation of how people and environments shape one another over time.
Our integrated approach draws together the key concepts of place, identity, movement, time, change, and heritage, enabling learners to explore where they come from, how the world around them has evolved, and how they connect with the people and landscapes of the past and present.
The Five Key Learning Objectives are:
LO2: Place, Identity and Belonging
“I can explore where I live, and how culture, feelings, and identity connect us to places, past and present.”
LO2: People, Movement and Settlement
“I can discover how people move, settle, and make a difference – shaping places, lives and history.”
LO3: Landscapes, Environment and Change
“I can explore how natural and human features shape the world and how land, climate and people have changed it over time. “
LO4: Investigating the Past and Present
“I can use maps, sources and real places to ask questions, find evidence, and understand how thinks change over time.”
LO5: Understanding History and Legacy
“I can explore key times and people in history, and explain how their actions changed the world I live in today.”
