Geography is about developing an understanding of our world, primarily through experience, investigation and learning from a range of sources. At St Peter's 8-13 we want to create a fascination about our interactions with the planet and generate a natural curiosity in young people. Over the course of five years, we look at the place mankind has in the world in terms of settlement location, economic activities and our far too often destructive relationship with the environment. In gaining this understanding, our children are enabled to take responsibility for their role in society, which in turn, can be employed for the benefit of themselves and also for the fellow human beings, animals, and plants with which we share the planet. We also believe that out in the field is where young people really see and learn, hence the number of field trips stretching from Headingley Water Works to Flamborough Head.
