‘Geography explains the past, illuminates the present and prepares us for the future. What could be more important than that?’   Michael Palin 2007

The teaching of Geography at Grendon Underwood School follows the statutory guidance of the National Curriculum.  Details of our curriculum can be found below

Geography at Grendon fosters and cultivates a passion for knowledge and a love of learning. It is hoped that what they learn in their lessons about the world and the people in it will stay with them for the rest of their lives, evoking an interest with a natural sense of awe and wonder in the world around them.

A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.

As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
