Geography
My name is Sarah Martin and I lead the subject of Geography across our school. In this role, I have a strategic overview of this subject and regularly liaise with teachers, in all year groups, to ensure that your child has a rich and exciting experience of Geography. I also coordinate whole-school, ‘one off’ events, linked to geographical celebration and commemoration.
Below you will find a lot of information about your child’s journey through our school as a geographer.
If you have any questions about this subject, or have relevant expertise that you feel you could offer, then please do not hesitate in contacting me: [email protected]
