Geography at St Thomas'

At St. Thomas’, we aim to inspire a curiosity and passion about the world and its people. We believe that it is important for our pupils to have a detailed global understanding, knowledge of the world and the people who occupy it.

Through understanding geography and the complexity of our world, we believe that our children will:

• develop respect for the physical environment around us and beyond
• develop respect for the diverse range of cultures and beliefs that make up our world

Our children will be aware of the impact they can have on our planet, how to care for it and how to sustain it. We aim to nurture an understanding, curiosity and fascination about the world and its people through the curriculum and opportunities that emerge throughout the year including:

• Learning about the countries of new children to St. Thomas’
• Learning songs, reading stories that embrace other cultures and countries
• Follow regular news updates of events from around the world and the impact these have on us, our immediate environment and the world around us
• Embed significant world events with cross curricular links and explore the wider relevant issues associated with them
