Intent

Studying Geography at our school helps students appreciate and respect the variety of cultures and ways of life across our amazing planet. Children will come to understand that God's teachings are universal, able to accompany them wherever they may go. By learning to cherish the Earth and recognising the harm it faces, they will also learn to respect all living creatures and God's creation through self-reflection.

Our Geography Curriculum -

The foundation of our curriculum lies in following the National Curriculum.
The curriculum is designed in a way that progresses systematically, building upon knowledge and skills at each stage and across different key stages.
This program is created with the intention of being inclusive for all students, regardless of their gender, abilities, socio-economic backgrounds, cultural backgrounds, or religious beliefs.
