Geography

Through geography, all children regardless of need or barrier will discover a sense of wonder about the world around them and the wider world. High expectations incorporated with quality geography teaching will inspire all children to be curious about the world and the people in it. They will learn how understanding the complexities of the world, appreciating the diversity of culture helps bridge divides and bring people together. They are given opportunities to make comparisons to other localities in order to help them widen their horizons.  

They will learn how their environment impacts their lives living in Torbay and how their lives impact the immediate environment.  

At Cockington we recognise the importance of safeguarding the earth for future generations and understanding the impact this can have on Torbay and globally.  We teach children to care for the world, to commit to a sustainable future and develop global climate ambassadors with the knowledge that they can make a difference.
