Cultural Capital
According to the national curriculum, Cultural Capital is the ‘essential knowledge that pupils need to be educated citizens, introducing them to the best that has been thought and said and helping to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.’ (Ofsted School Inspection Handbook 2019).
We are confident that Geography lessons at Greasbrough deliver the knowledge to enable children to function as well informed individuals who can engage with different aspects of society and thrive in the modern world.
Our Geography curriculum starts with a study in their local area but then extends to the wider world to broaden children’s minds and appreciation of different cultures. Every year group has access to high quality educational fieldwork visits outside of the classroom (both locally and further afield) to spark interest and excitement, ultimately increasing cultural capital. Residential visits to Northumberland enable children to learn about and compare with the local area..
