Our Intent:

In Geography at Central Lancaster High School we seek to develop aspiring geographers into tomorrow’s global citizens, who will help to shape our future on Earth. Our pupils will begin to understand the physical and human processes that form our world and how these are interconnected and constantly change over time. Our curriculum will focus on the development of four geographical areas that develop them into an informed global citizen:

  • Knowledge (of places, environments and processes at different scales)
  • Understanding (concepts and inter-relationships between places environments and processes)
  • Application (using knowledge and understanding to interpret, analyse and evaluate to make judgements)
  • Skills and techniques (select, adapt and use to investigate and communicate findings)


Pupils will develop an awareness, respect and consideration of other people, cultures and experiences through learning about a variety of places. Some of this will come from experiences in the classroom, but they will also take part in fieldwork and potentially international fieldtrips.
