Exciting news!

Our school has been awarded the Bronze Primary Geography Quality Mark for the geography taking place at our school.

Geography at our school:

Geography is an important part of our school curriculum.

Our vision is for our children:

• To develop a sense of awe and wonder about the world in which we live.
• To develop the geographical knowledge and skills needed to understand the world in which we live – where places are and what they are like, and how our world is represented.
• To celebrate diversity and to challenge stereotypes of people and places.
• To develop, through learning about global issues, the knowledge, skills and values needed to become active and responsible global citizens, who know that they can make a positive difference in the world and are empowered to do so. 

Catholic Social Teaching

There are strong links between geography and Catholic Social Teaching.  In particular, our school is a 'School of Sanctuary' - a place of welcome and safety for all.  In Refugee Week, children throughout our school have the opportunity to learn about the global issue of refugees and to take action based on their learning, e.g. making refugee children welcome in our school or raising money a charity such as Borderlands - the charity set up by St. Nicholas of Tolentino RC Church.
