"Geography explains the past, illuminates the present and prepares us for the future. " Michael Palin

At Wybunbury Delves we aim to nurture a school community where everyone experiences a love of learning and of life; everyone is able to 'shine' and grow in God's Love. Geography is a subject which offers the very best opportunities to achieve this.

At Wybunbury Delves, we believe geography should inspire both a fascination and a curiosity in the world we live in. We aim to deliver a knowledge rich curriculum whereby geographical knowledge is valued, specified, and well sequenced. Through geography, we equip pupils with both locational and place knowledge together with navigational skills to explore places, features and processes at different scales. We aim to provide children with a deep understanding of diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments. Children learn about their local area and compare their life in this area with that in other regions in the United Kingdom and in the rest of the world. We also strive for children to develop geographical skills: collecting and analysing data; using maps, globes, aerial photographs and digital mapping to name and identify countries, continents and oceans; and communicating information in a variety of ways. As children explore topics about our interconnected world, they will also cultivate a respect for the local, national and international environment which empowers them to become leading lights in our community and our world.

The national curriculum for geography aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places – both terrestrial and marine – including their defining physical and human characteristics and how these provide a geographical context for understanding the actions of processes
  • understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world, how these are interdependent and how they bring about spatial variation and change over time
  • are competent in the geographical skills needed to:
  • collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes
  • interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
  • communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length
