At St Margaret Ward, Geography plays a vital role in developing globally aware citizens. Through an engaging and ambitious curriculum, pupils explore the world around them and their place within it, developing a deep understanding of both physical and human geography.
Our Geography curriculum helps pupils to understand diverse places, people, cultures, and environments, while encouraging curiosity about the wider world. Students learn how landscapes are formed, how climates and ecosystems function, and how human activity shapes—and is shaped by—the planet. They also explore key global issues such as sustainability, climate change, inequality, and conflict.
We place a strong emphasis on developing geographical thinking and decision-making, as pupils are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, consider different perspectives, and make meaningful connections between local, national, and global contexts.
By the time they leave our school, pupils will not only have a secure knowledge of the world’s physical and human features, but also the values and understanding needed to engage responsibly with global challenges. Our Geography curriculum empowers children to become informed, empathetic, and active global citizens, ready to contribute positively to an ever-changing world.
