GEOGRAPHY 

Geography at St Gilbert's aims to inspire pupils through a variety of experiences so they can learn and acquire  knowledge, skills and understanding  through the  diverse world and culture in which they live.  The children at St. Gilbert's will become true Geographers  when they  can use geographical vocabulary to explain their world; enquire about the world in which they live; understand and learn how to take care of their environment and appreciate the wonderful world and people God has made. Children will be encouraged to take part in outdoor learning and field study activities to learn about their society and how to work in groups.

Geographical Association 

St Gilberts are now part of the Geographical Association. They are an organisation that connect teachers and inspire the learning of Geography.
