“Geography is about more than memorising places on a map – it’s about understanding the complexity of the world”

Barack Obama

At Valentine, the Geography curriculum has been designed to inspire pupils to ask and answer big questions about the world they inhabit. We do not shy away from encouraging pupils to debate local and global issues – including:

• Society, culture and change;
• Understanding the natural and human world;
• Southampton Local study – past and recent changes;
• Global environments;
• Environmental issues – including the impact of climate change.
