At Ganton School, we strive to increase pupils’ knowledge within Geography to enable them to achieve to their full potential and to be as independent as possible by the time they leave us. Given the complex needs of our learners and the challenges they face on a day-to-day basis, we appreciate that Geography learning may look differently for each pupil.
Our aim is to foster a love for Geography and enrich our pupils learning through carefully designed teaching activities that in order to embed the knowledge needed to explore and enquire about the world. For our sensory explorers this will involve their immediate environments and for those preparing and planning for independence this will entail widening their knowledge about different environments and recognising where they are in the World.
Being a geographer enables pupils to develop their learning across the wider curriculum and lays the foundations for success for their future and employment. The aim is to create confident and independent geographers through a broad, rich and ambitious curriculum.
We recognise the importance of taking a consistent whole school approach in order to ensure all pupils have the same opportunities and are challenged to achieve their maximum potential. At Ganton we have high expectations of all of our pupils and we encourage each and every one to challenge themselves, persistently promoting resilience over reliance in order to create confident, independent young people by the time they leave us for their next destination.
