Geography is led by Mrs Lower and Mrs Castle.

At Bovingdon Primary Academy, we aim to ensure that all children appreciate their locality in comparison with the wider world. The children learn about a range of different human and physical features in the world around them. We have made geography fun by exploring our local environment, researching different countries and role-playing lives in different countries. Our geography topics include: Tanzania, Bovingdon, India, London, natural disasters, mapping and many more. I am delighted to be able lead geography and see how the children’s knowledge and appreciation of the world develops and grows.
