Geography at Abbey Court School is to fundamentally expose and excite pupils to engage and learn about the world in which they live in a practical and engaging way to prepare them for the present and the future. The geography curriculum focuses on their own ‘personal geography’ which enables pupils to understand their immediate environment, harnessing and building on knowledge, therefore gaining independence in their abilities to access their community and what it offers. It enables pupils to make informed decisions and choices to support them in their future. This then prepares pupils to fully engage and play an active part in their community. We believe it is essential that our pupils receive a relevant, meaningful and purposeful geography curriculum to enhance their future prospects in life and to have a functional place within society.
