    We are geographers

    We will inspire a curiosity of Southborough, London, the United Kingdom and the World and those within it through the National Curriculum and the CUSP.  We will create learning opportunities that enhance understanding and build lifelong memories of the world around them.

    Geography in EYFS

    In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), geography skills are taught through knowledge and understanding of the world. They observe, find out about, and identify features in the place they live and the natural world. They find out about their environment, and talk about those features they like and dislike through exploration and investigation.
