A good geographer is someone who is excited about the dynamics and aspects of the world; they have an enthusiasm to better understand the people, places and environments within it. At Burnt Oak, geographers are encouraged to understand why and how places are changing and how this has had an impact on the past, present and future world we live in. Not only does it connect our individual geographers to their community by identifying, locating and exploring their local surroundings, it allows the children to link these to wider contexts around the world. Underpinning this is a strong component that deepens children’s geographical thinking and therefore makes them an excellent geographer.
