Geography

Geography statement of intent

Geography at Wensum allows children to explore and develop their understanding of the world and their own place within it.  Through a four-year programme of study, children explore and learn about the social, environmental, economic and political aspects of our planet, whilst considering their own role as a citizen on a local, national and global scale.
