Geography

Overview

We use Geography to introduce our children to the world around them at a local, national and international level. We teach the children about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, as well as giving them an understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. We hope to inspire their curiosity to find out more – by asking questions and learning through practical problem solving and investigation. The children learn how to use maps, globes and atlases and visit local areas as part of school trips.
