‘Geography is a subject that is key to our future’ – Michael Palin

‘Without Geography, you are nowhere’ – Unknown

The Birkdale Geography curriculum should give every child a sense of belonging to the local, national and world community. Our curriculum equips students with the skills and knowledge to make sense of a complex and dynamically changing world and the ability to critically question the world around them. Our Geography curriculum has a foundation in climate change and sustainable development goals to interrogate issues on a variety of scales. We open windows onto situations that demand empathy and understanding through powerful knowledge; whilst also inspiring a desire to travel as citizens of the world making positive contributions.
