Psalm 24:1
‘The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.’
Geography promotes a love of the world and the stewardship of our planet.
We believe that learning Geography enriches our understanding of the world and encourages people to take more care of it. This includes not only our natural world but all the people who live on earth. Through learning about how people live around the world we can develop our sense of empathy and compassion, as well as a love of travel and exploration to allow us to see new places and meet new people

“The study of geography is about more than just memorising places on a map. It’s about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it’s about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together. “ - Barrack Obama.

At St Anne’s Primary School we strive to provide our children with the opportunities to become global citizens, deepening their interest and wonder in exploring their own place in the world. We believe it is important to provide ‘Living Geography’ concerned with children’s lives, their futures and their world. Through our curriculum our children will develop a sense of their world at the local, national and global scales understanding the interconnections between how people and the environment interact. Through our geography curriculum pupils are equipped with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. Allowing children to take part in fieldwork is an essential part of this. Pupils learn to think critically, think spatially, use maps, visual images and new technologies, to understand and present information. They will have an adept understanding of their responsibilities within their own society whilst also having a coherent insight into sustainability of a dynamically changing world.
