Overview
Geography
Introduction
At Eckington School we aim to create global citizens who understand how the world around them works. A global citizen at Eckington School will understand the lives of people from different cultures. They will know how change will affect how we live and the environments we live in. The students at Eckington will achieve this by:
- Asking challenging questions.
- Learning a range of new skills.
- Communicating their ideas and opinions about the world around them.
When our students move on from Eckington, they will understand their place in the world and will be able to think like a geographer when making decisions about their future.
