Geography at Low Furness

The aim of our Geography curriculum is to spark curiosity in the world we live in. We want to build a love for the world around us. 

It should spark a lifelong appreciation of places and people they have never experienced before and raise big questions about the local and international environment and its future. Geographers make links and connections between the natural world and human activity. We want to foster a sense of wonder and fascination with the physical and human world around us.

We use ‘CUSP’ to enhance our Geography curriculum as it best supports the opportunities we want to give our children, which are:

  • Explore local, national and global scales of activity

  • Participate in residential visits

  • Compare the similarities and differences of the local area with those of a location in the wider world.

  • Develop field study and Geographical enquiry skills

  • Interpret a range of sources of geographical information including maps, globes and aerial photographs. 

Our Geography curriculum helps to foster a love for self, love of others, love of learning and love of the world in many different ways:

  • It  teaches our students to care for the environment and appreciate the world around us. 
  • Through our students journey in Geography, they will explore current global events such as climate change and deforestation which will drive children to make a difference by caring for our environment, others and future generations.
  • It helps us develop an understanding of different cultures, places and people. This helps to build respect for all but also allows them to reflect on their own feelings. 
  • Geography is a tool to help children understand how others live and why it matters that we value and protect their environment and lifestyles.

All of the pictures below are from lessons following the CUSP curriculum.
