Vision
At Holly Primary School, we aim to develop children’s curiosity and fascination in both their immediate surroundings and in places and environments in the wider world leading their own learning through purposeful research, careful questioning and discussions. Our Geography curriculum encourages children to gain an awareness and understanding of diverse cultures and people through in-depth studies of countries and regions of the world.
We provide children with a wealth of opportunities to develop and apply their geographical skills in both the local area and beyond through our forest schools provision, local fieldwork, trips and residentials.
