Geography

At Lanesend Primary School, we want our children to be fascinated about the world and the people who live in it. Their curiosity should last for the rest of their lives. Our children should know about the diversity of places, people and natural and human environments. They should also understand the physical and human processes of planet Earth. We follow Kapow for our Geography Curriculum.
