We are Geographers

We are learning. We are growing. We are Falkland.

At Falkland, we believe that geography should provoke and provide answers to questions about the different aspects of the human and natural world. We aim to promote an 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.

Children leave Year 6 having studied a knowledge-based curriculum looking at their local area as well as a range of distant localities. We believe that for children to understand distant localities, they have to first understand their local area. This is why we have created a focus on fieldwork throughout each year group. Leaving Year 6, they will also be equipped with a number of skills, including: the ability the collect and analyse data, and interpret a range of sources of geographical information (for example maps, diagrams and aerial photographs).
