Geography at Anton Junior School

Our Vision for Geography

At our school, Geography inspires pupils with a lasting curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. We aim to nurture a sense of wonder about the planet, encouraging children to explore, question, and understand the complex relationships between places, people, and the environment.

Geography plays a vital role in helping pupils develop an understanding of their own place in the world. Through geographical learning, children reflect on their values and recognise their rights and responsibilities as global citizens, developing respect for diverse cultures and a growing awareness of environmental stewardship.

Our curriculum is designed to broaden pupils’ real-life experiences and provide meaningful learning opportunities for all. Our children begin by exploring their immediate locality, building strong foundations through first-hand experiences, before gradually extending their learning to the wider world. As their knowledge and skills deepen, children are encouraged to ask geographical questions, investigate patterns and processes, and seek answers through enquiry.

We want our children to see themselves as explorers, geographers, and geologists confident in using geographical skills, vocabulary, and knowledge to make sense of the world around them. By the time they leave our school, children will have developed a strong global understanding, a curiosity that endures beyond the classroom, and the tools they need to engage thoughtfully with the world they inhabit.
