In order to achieve our whole school intent, we have identified 3 Golden Threads that weave through our curriculum and underpin everything we do. This means that in delivering our curriculum we are embedding our school Christian Values, developing knowledge and skills progressively over time with an ambitious and aspiring curriculum whilst immersing our children in language rich teaching.
Geography is about understanding the world we live in. It helps to provoke and provide answers to questions about the physical and human aspects of the world. At Forest and Sandridge, children are encouraged to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of their world, as well as their place in it. At Forest and Sandridge, our intent, when teaching Geography, is to inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and people within it; to promote the children's interest and understanding of diverse places, people, resources, changes over time and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth's key physical and human processes. Our lessons are intended to improve children's geographical vocabulary, map skills and geographical facts and provide opportunities for consolidation, challenge and variety to ensure interest and progress in the subject. It is our intent to we equip children with the language they need to be able to compare.
