A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

We have designed our Geography curriculum to equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments. As pupils progress at The Meadows, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. 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. Pupils will consolidate and extend their knowledge of the world’s major countries and their physical and human features. Pupils will understand how geographical processes interact to create distinctive human and physical landscapes that change over time.
