Geography

Geography at Ellingham

At Ellingham, we believe that Geography helps to provoke and answer questions about the natural and human worlds.  Cultural diversity enriches our school and it is important for our children to see themselves in their learning and so the countries studied, for example Brazil, have strong connections to our school community.

We seek to inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people; our aim is  that this will remain with them for the rest of their lives. In order to engage the children and for them to see Geography in their everyday lives, we use local resources and places to support their learning; The Hogsmill River, The Bonesgate Stream and Kingston Upon Thames are just a few of our local landmarks which the children will study and visit to bring their learning to life.

Above all else, our intent is that by the time all children leave Ellingham they have been enriched with a passion about the world around them that inspires them to want to learn more.
