Geography - Curriculum Intent
Purpose of Study
At Cubert School, we believe that geography is more than just a subject—it's an adventure! Our aim is to ignite a spark of curiosity in every pupil about the world and its incredible people. Through geography, students will explore diverse places, cultures, resources, and both the natural and human aspects of our planet. As they learn, they'll uncover the wonders of how Earth’s physical and human processes interact, how landscapes form, and how environments change over time. Our geography curriculum helps students understand how the world’s features are shaped, connected, and transformed, setting them on a path of lifelong exploration and discovery.
