Introduction

The Curriculum Support section contains key information about the disciplinary foundations and the significant features of geography that should underpin any geography curriculum or curriculum requirements.

Find guidance for creating a successful geography curriculum and leading geography within this section. All the pages include information, guidance and exemplification for both primary and secondary teachers of geography.

Intent, implementation and impact

The section is structured according to the three Is of intent, implementation and impact.

These three concepts are essential in planning an effective geography curriculum to ensure the vision and goals are clear, attainable and the road map to achieving them is clear. In the menu below we have split the main topics between these three areas.

While the principles, process and structure will be common to most school geography curricula, you should tailor it to suit your needs and context. Remember that what may work for one school may not work as well for another.
