At Fosse Way Academy, we recognise that the teaching of Geography is essential in helping our pupils understand the world around them and their place within it. Our curriculum fosters curiosity, appreciation and respect for the diverse places, people and environments that make up our world. We encourage pupils to explore, question and discuss geographical issues, beginning with their local community before expanding their knowledge to the United Kingdom, Europe and the wider world.

Our Geography curriculum has been thoughtfully designed to provide an ambitious and inclusive learning journey that equips all pupils with the essential geographical knowledge, skills and understanding needed for the future. It is carefully sequenced to build progressively on prior learning, ensuring children develop secure knowledge of human and physical geography alongside key geographical concepts, vocabulary, map skills and fieldwork techniques. Through engaging enquiries, practical investigations and meaningful experiences, pupils are encouraged to think critically, ask questions and make connections between places, people and environments.

We aim to develop confident geographers who can use a range of geographical tools and sources, including maps, atlases, globes, aerial photographs and digital technologies, to investigate and interpret the world around them. Our curriculum promotes knowledge and skills that are transferable across the wider curriculum, supporting pupils' literacy, mathematics, science and critical thinking, whilst contributing to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

As an investigative and inspiring subject, Geography deepens pupils' understanding of both natural and human environments, helping them to appreciate diversity, understand global interdependence and recognise the importance of sustainability. Through high-quality teaching and carefully planned progression, we strive to ignite a lifelong curiosity about the world and empower our pupils to become informed, responsible and active global citizens.
