how we teach geography at redgate

At Redgate we are geographers! Geography teaching at Redgate is about developing an understanding of our world, primarily through experience, investigation and learning from primary and secondary sources. We ensure that children at our school are equipped with geographical skills and knowledge to help children to develop their knowledge and appreciation of their place in our dynamic and ever-changing world.  It will help to prepare children for their role as citizens of a 21st century world and provide them with the essential cultural capital to become global citizens with an awareness of current world events and the passion and confidence to do something about them. We aim to inspire the children to appreciate the beauty of their rural locality whilst also broadening their horizons and providing them with knowledge and experiences of landmarks, lifestyles and cultures that are not always encountered in our immediate setting.
