Geography

At Thorn Grove, we believe that Geography provides an essential platform for understanding the world we live in, its people, places, and environments.

Our curriculum is designed to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and contextual understanding. We strive to develop geographers who are knowledgeable, independent thinkers, and who can confidently engage with the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.  It develops a progressive understanding of locational and place knowledge, human and physical geography and fieldwork skills.

We aim to instil a sense of wonder, curiosity, and fascination about the world and its diverse environments whilst deepening students' understanding of the physical and human processes that shape the Earth.

As an ever changing school community, we develop students' awareness and appreciation of the diverse cultures, places, and perspectives across the world.

We recognise the importance of fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardship towards the environment, both locally and globally and make links across the curriculum to environmental themes.
