At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we believe that the teaching of geography inspires a curiosity and fascination with the natural world and the diverse groups of people that interact with one another. Geography helps pupils to know their place in, and how to impact, the world.
This enables us to live, love and learn about the world and people around us.
Geography is a sacred subject:
Geography enables pupils to know the universal story they are a part of:
Below are some examples of how our teaching of Geography contributes to our whole school pupil characteristics:
Pupil Characteristic | Key Word | Geography contributes to this by providing opportunities to…… |

Powerful orators | SPEAK | Be bold in speaking about climate and the geographical issues they are passionate about |
