Geography
Geography at Buntingford First School will empower students with the knowledge to appreciate our rapidly changing environment both near and far from home. A combination of traditional maps, fieldwork and digital tools are to always be at the heart of our geographical investigations.
Through studying geography our students will become global citizens of the 21st century and be able to visualise geography in all current affairs. Furthermore, our geography students will develop outstanding interpersonal skills which increases their employability for the future.
