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

🔍 Curious

We encourage children to explore the world's diverse landscapes, cultures and environments, sparking fascination and a desire to learn more about the world around them.

⭐ Ambitious

We support children to develop geographical knowledge and skills, think critically about global issues and become informed citizens who can understand and respond to challenges facing our planet.

🤝 Caring

We create opportunities for children to appreciate different communities, cultures and environments, fostering respect, responsibility and a commitment to caring for the world we share.
