Vision

 At Pipworth Community Primary School we believe that Geography helps our pupils to develop a clearer understanding of the world around them and a stronger understanding of their place in the world. We have a rich and diverse range of cultures at the school which are celebrated through the teaching of geography, encouraging respect and understanding. At Pipworth, we seek to inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people which will remain with them for the rest of their lives; to promote the children’s interest and understanding of diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.

At the centre of the geography curriculum is the national curriculum which we use as a basis for learning the essential knowledge and skills that will enable them to be successful in geography. The skills and knowledge taught is progressive and also transferable to other subjects.

At Pipworth we want all children to have the opportunity to experience success in their learning of geography through opportunities to investigate their local and wider environment, asking questions and developing the understanding of increasingly more complex concepts such as teaching about immigration and refugees in year 6, both the negative and positive aspects. The children will be given the opportunity to establish their own values and understanding their rights and responsibilities to others and the environment.
