Geography at Lilleshall

At Lilleshall, we shape inquisitive learners through engaging and practical Geography lessons. We aspire to develop children's knowledge about the world they live in and the increasing impact that humans are having upon the world. We provide clear progression through a meaningfully sequenced curriculum with regular fieldwork opportunities to apply new knowledge.

Our lessons are underpinned by ‘key concepts’ which inform the national curriculum aims of achievement for the teaching of geography:

• Contextual world knowledge of locations, places and geographical features.
• Understanding of the processes and interactions that give rise to key physical and human geographical features, distribution patterns and changes over time and space.
• Competence in geographical enquiry and the application of skills in observing, collecting, analysing, evaluating and communicating geographical information.
   

We ensure that both our pupils’ substantive and disciplinary knowledge is built upon year on year:
