Why do we learn geography?
Our core purpose is: “Developing students into critical thinkers who can understand and make sense of the human and physical processes that shape our world.” We want to ensure that APA students develop a love and curiosity for Geography, and for the world around them. Our curriculum gives pupils the opportunities to understand Earth’s foundational processes, whilst also learning about the human interactions that have shaped our planet.
