Geography
At Sir Henry Fermor, we have developed a comprehensive curriculum so that our students gain a thorough understanding of the different geographical features around us (physical and human), places local to us and those further a field. We also ensure that all children develop the necessary fieldwork skills to enable them to navigate using a map. Geography is taught discretely from History throughout the year.
Each term children will study a different topic. Where possible we have picked topics that compliment others being taught that term.
