Geography at Maple Court Academy is an essential subject in our wider curriculum. Through well-planned, exciting and differentiated lessons, the geography curriculum aims to build on the knowledge, skills and understanding of all pupils.The wider curriculum follows a topic-based approach which allows children to make cross-curricular links with other subjects and puts learning in context, meaning that all children have exciting and relevant learning experiences, inside and outside the classroom.

Regular educational visits and outdoor learning opportunities provide excellent opportunities for our pupils to become ‘Geographers’ and build on their map skills and participate in fieldwork activities.Through gaining knowledge of what places are like, how they compare with others and how their location impacts upon them, children will be able to develop greater awareness and links between their place in the world alongside those of others.
