Geography

At Wellsprings Primary School, we want our children to love geography! Our intention is to inspire children’s curiosity and interest to explore the world that we live in, its people, as well as their place in it, which in turn aims to ignite a love of learning.

Geography is an investigative subject, which promotes the development of an enquiring mind. Through the teaching of geography, we help to provoke thought, questions and to encourage children to discover answers to their own questions through research and exploration. We develop children’s geographical skills and knowledge through studying places, people and natural and human environments.

We also intend for the children to become passionate and knowledgeable about our local community and beyond, by learning through experiences in practical and fieldwork activities; in turn helping the children to become active learners.
