Curriculum Statement

Intent

At Great Missenden we believe Geography to be an essential part of the curriculum that should inspire in our pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. We want to equip them with not only the minimum statutory requirements of the geography National Curriculum but to prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. We want our children to use our local area, surrounded by the Chiltern Hills, to learn about landscapes, human interaction with physical features and to appreciate what we have. We aim to decolonise our curriculum by providing 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, we want every child to leave Great Missenden with a sense of awe and wonder.

How does our school's vision and values shape Geography?
