Geography Vision Statement

At Fairview, we believe that Geography helps to provoke and provide answers to questions about the natural and human aspects of the world. 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. Children are encouraged to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, as well as their place in it. 

 The curriculum is designed to ensure that teaching equips 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. Exploring the world around them initially starts on a local level, using their first hand experiences of their immediate environment. As pupils progress through the school, their growing knowledge about the world helps them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments.
