Geography
The Akiva Geography curriculum is authentic and challenging, it provides memorable opportunities for our pupils.
At Akiva School, we aim to help develop children’s curiosity in both their immediate surroundings and in places and environments in the wider world. Our purpose is to instil an interest, fascination and desire to investigate a variety of human and physical characteristics of different places, both local and afar, through purposeful research and careful and challenging questioning. In order to be well-rounded citizens, we believe that children need to understand the differences between places and their cultures and that they can also recognise how these change over time.
We provide children with many memorable opportunities to use a range of geographical skills to help them understand, present, analyse and communicate a range of information either collaboratively or as an individual. These skills are put into practice both inside and outside the classroom through local fieldwork and trips. By using our extensive grounds on the Sternberg Centre site and carefully chosen trips, we are able to provide the children with authentic experiences. Thus making the learning of Geography real and exciting.
