Geography
Geography is essentially about understanding the world we live in. It helps to provoke and provide answers to questions about the natural and human aspects of the world.
At Rugby Free Secondary school children are encouraged to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, as well as their place in it. The geography curriculum enables students to develop knowledge and skills that are transferrable to other curriculum areas.
The study of geography is about
more than just memorising places
on a map. It's about understanding
the complexity of our world,
appreciating the diversity of cultures
that exists across continents.
Barack Obama
Geography is an investigative subject, which develops an understanding of concepts, knowledge and skills. At Rugby Free Secondary school our intent, when teaching geography, is to inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and people within it; to promote the student’s 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.
