Our children will learn that it is the responsiblity of humans to safeguard and value the environment and the planet we have been gifted. We learn to be responsible stewards of the Earth, acknowledging the interconnectedness of all living things. We encourage them to have a balanced and respectful relationship between humanity and the environment.

ACROSS THE CURRICULUM

Our responsibility to look after the gift of creation, and the environments important to our community, is spread across the curriculum and school life.

In Geography, the children in EYFS and KS1 are introduced to the concept and importance of weather and its effect on our planet. They are introduced to climates across the world and are taught about the benefits and challenges.They are taught about the effect that humans can have on settlements and the importance of looking after them.

KS2's knowledge rich curriculum further explores the effects mankind has on our planet, specifcially via in-depth units of 'Arsenal' and 'Eyes on our Planet'.  

In Science, children learn to grow and nurture new life, and how to create the conditions for life to thrive. Trips and classroom teaching give them a rounded exposure to the importance of care for habitats and all living things (including themselves!)
