Curriculum Intent

At Polam Hall School our Geography curriculum aims to:

• Enrich pupils’ learning experience by underpinning geographical themes with skills that are transferable in their education and adult life.
• Provide opportunities for pupils to learn about human and natural phenomena, and the interaction of both.
• Enable pupils to become observers and analysts of space, place, and environment on scales from the local to the global.
• Introduce pupils to a multifaceted discipline that bridges the social sciences, the humanities, and the physical sciences.
• Enable pupils to understand and explain the world we live in.

To inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people and understand how they are interconnected and have changed over time.

At GCSE students follow the Edexcel specification. Further details can be found using this link: https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/geography-a-2016.html
