Geography Vision

We want children to not only develop an understanding of the area, and indeed the world, in which they live but also to embed a life-long interest and sense of responsibility for their environment. Children should have an understanding of where they live within the world and how this affects their lifestyle and surroundings and how this compares to others in other countries. We want pupils to have the skills necessary to explore the world for themselves – for example reading both traditional and digital maps, collecting and processing data and to encourage their natural curiosity to explore and discover.

I am thrilled to now be taking on Geography. Learning about other places, near and far, is something I am passionate about. Having an understanding of the world around us, why it is that way, the differences and similarities between landscape, people and cultures is extremely fascinating and an integral part of being an accepting and curious individual.  

I love that Geography is in everything we do. I love that we can conduct fieldwork to investigate for ourselves and learn by doing. I believe that by equipping the children with the resources, skills and experiences, we are providing them with a life-long love of the world around them. It encourages them to explore and understand the area in which they live but also to develop an interest in the wider world and what it has to offer.   

Geography sparks their natural curiosity and I can’t wait to continue the passion that already exists for the subject within the school.
