At Yorkmead our learners are encouraged to become confident and creative learners, who pose questions and seek answers.
Our Geography curriculum is designed to raise curiosity and fascination about the world, equipping our children with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with an understanding of the Earth’s main physical and human processes. Children are encouraged to deepen their understanding of the interaction between these processes to better understand the formation of landscapes and environments. Additionally, children learn to make sense of their own local area while gaining an appreciation of life in other cultures through their growing knowledge and understanding of human geography. Through the careful sequencing of topics over time, children are equipped with geographical knowledge and understanding that enables them to explain how the Earth’s features are interconnected and how these features change over time. Furthermore, this sequencing allows children to make more meaningful comparisons of different locations around the world.
