Why is it important to teach Geography?

An awareness of the wider world teaches pupils about a variety of geographical features and cultures. It encourages a self-awareness and responsibility toward the future of our world, both locally and globally.

Geographical skills, such as map reading, knowledge of places and enquiry based research are valuable learning tools through which pupils can gain a deeper knowledge of the world.

Pupils need to be aware of climate change and the impact that their actions have upon the world.
