Our Vision for Geography at Etwall Primary School
Our vision for Geography at Etwall Primary School is to inspire every child to develop a curiosity about the world and an understanding of their place within it. We strive to equip children with the knowledge, skills and confidence to explore people, places and environments, helping them to make sense of an ever-changing world. We support our children through our core values of Curious, Ambitious and Caring.
