Geography

Our Vision: At Cannon Lane children enjoy learning geography, whereby exciting cross curricular links are made to other subjects, and regular school excursions help inspire and engage them. 

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. Teaching should equip 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.

AIMS

All children should be provided with opportunities and encouraged to:

• Develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places.
• Understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world.
• Collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork.
• Interpret a range of sources of geographical information including maps, diagrams and globes.
