Seeing the whole picture

There is more to geography than learning the location of places and reading maps. Much of the subject is about enquiring into how, why and 'what if'. Geography gives pupils an insight into links between people, places and environment. Pupils think about the effect of issues on themselves and others around the world. This part of the QCA website provides general information on geography, as well as resources and support for teachers.
