‘The study of geography is about more than just memorising places on a map. It’s about understanding the complexity of our world.’ – Barak Obama
We are curious and passionate geographers who learn about our locality, the country in which we live and the wider world. As we pass through school, we gain a greater understanding of the natural environments on earth and our place within it through both exploration and research. We develop a strong social conscience through our experiences of geography which allow us to truly realise the importance of living sustainable lives.
