Geography
Our Intent
At Holycroft our intent for the Geography curriculum is to inspire pupils with a curiosity and wonder about the Earth and its people that will leave a lasting impression for years to come. Teaching will equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, and resources in natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. Children will use fieldwork investigation skills to make them a geographer in and out of the classroom.
