GEOGRAPHY

Geography is taught to all children initially within the context of knowledge and understanding of the world. This starts in the Pre Prep and develops through the study of places, the human and physical processes which shape them and the people who live in them. The world in which we live is constantly changing and children are encouraged to be curious and develop strategies to make informed decisions and give their opinions.

Field trips and excursions provide the children with hands on experience of geographical processes. 

There are strong cross-curricular links, especially with history, science and literacy and these are often linked to class, key stage, or sometimes whole-school visits.

Forms 4 and 5 recently welcomed visitors from the Bahamas who shared photos and experiences from their life there. Children discussed how it differed or was similar to their own lives in Essex. They also enjoyed hearing music from the Bahamas.

The school also takes part in tree planting with The Woodland Trust and has a strong eco-school philosophy.
