We would like to invite primary Geography Subject Leaders to attend a series of 3 network meetings that will take place over the course of the academic year. The meetings will be a fantastic opportunity to meet colleagues from different schools, share good practice and discuss current research and initiatives.

  • Collaborate and share best practice with Geography leads across Greenwich
  • A close look at progression of different strands of Geography from EYFS to YR7
