Geography

Geography at St Austin's 

At St Austin's, we aim for all children to be passionate learners of Geography. We aim for every pupil to be more inquisitive with their learning, which will develop an understanding of the world we live in. At St Austin's, we work towards understanding the cause and effect of various Geographical concepts. The result of this will help children at St Austin's to become problem solvers in different contexts.
