GEOGRAPHY @ BISHOP
INTENT
At Bishopsteignton School, our Geography curriculum encourages children to develop a greater knowledge and understanding of their world and their place in it. We place learning in a context that is relevant to our children’s lives, embracing and appreciating Devon’s rich geography through local studies alongside studies of diverse global localities and communities.
