Geography

"The study of geography is about more than just memorizing places on a map. It's about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it's about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together." Barack Obama

At Broughton Fields Primary School we deliver a high-quality geography education to inspire in our children a curiosity and fascination about the world, its people and our place in it. Teaching should provide pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes and the interaction between them. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.

Our children, at Broughton Fields Primary School, are encouraged to be life-long compassionate geographers, learning with their hearts, sympathetic to the struggles of others living on Earth, our home. They are provided with the necessary knowledge to enable them to learn with an open mind, to think and give them the passion to bring about positive change, both now and in the future, on contemporary local and global issues for future generations.
