Geography

Here at St. Anne’s Catholic Primary School, our principal aim is that children leave us with a wide range of happy and rich memories in Geography. Inspired by exciting experiences, driven through our curriculum vehicles, which enhance child’s awareness of their own abilities and strengths as a learner and their knowledge and understanding of their own locality and the wider world. We want children to have deep respect and love of their own locality and the wider world. 

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was described by Charles Darwin as, "the greatest scientific traveller who ever lived." He is widely respected as one of the founders of modern geography. Alexander von Humboldt's travels, experiments, and knowledge transformed western science in the nineteenth century.
