Geography
Whether they are studying Sidcup or Kenya, volcanoes or rivers, children at West Lodge are encouraged to be inquisitive about their world.
Our Geography curriculum provides all children with the opportunity to explore both the physical and human attributes of the world and question their place within it. Children develop their geographical skills through fieldwork as well as broad and balanced variety of class-based activities and appropriate links are made with other subjects to make their learning even more meaningful. As the children get older they consider ‘big issues’ in our world and learn that as individuals we can have an impact.
A contemporary, relevant curriculum
We have recently introduced a new unit that explores rewilding to our module about sustainability. Read more here:

Year 6 enjoy the opportunity to carry out geographical and geological research on field visit
Despite the wet weather, Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their field trip in which they learnt about the journey of a river, floodplains (which they saw first hand!) and took part in a fascinating investigation into the permeability of rocks.
I love learning about the world.
