Geography

'Geography is a subject which holds the key to our future' - Michael Palin

At Giles Junior School, we aim to support our children in developing their Geographical skills and knowledge through exciting Geography lessons. All lessons embed previous learning to deepen understanding. We aim to support our children in developing a passion for Geography by inspiring pupils’ curiosity about the world around them. We intend to equip children with geographical skills to develop their knowledge through studying places, people and natural and human environments.
