At Ian Ramsey CE Academy, we have Ambition for All. Our Geography curriculum equips pupils with the knowledge, skills and understanding to explore an interconnected world, think critically about environmental and global challenges, and act as responsible citizens. Through a carefully sequenced curriculum, meaningful enquiry and fieldwork, pupils learn to investigate, analyse and evaluate the world around them. Rooted in our Christian vision, ‘Together to learn, to grow, to serve,’ Geography develops curious, knowledgeable and compassionate young people who can contribute positively to their communities and the wider world.
