At Poplars Community Primary School we intend to inspire pupils with a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives: in turn creating well-rounded, respectful and inquisitive global citizens. We aim to develop an awareness of world events and the impact that they have on our ever-changing world.  

We believe that geographical knowledge helps pupils develop a greater understanding of the world and their place in it. We develop pupil’s knowledge 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. Through our curriculum, our pupils will develop a sense of place where they develop the skills and courage to question perspectives with kindness, give reasoned and honest opinions, develop empathy and a sense of responsibility towards the world and its resources. Pupils are exposed to a rich curriculum where they are inspired to improve their geographical knowledge and fieldwork skills. They are taught to actively engage with the local and global community and to aspire to use their skills and knowledge to further understand their local area and the wider world around them. We want pupils to have the courage to explore and participate in fieldwork collaboratively, whilst developing an appreciation for the area they live in as well as a greater sense of curiosity and wonder about the wider world.
