Our aim is to ensure students will be informed, engaged, and active Global Citizens. The world is an ever changing and ever more complicated place. Geographers at Ashton Park will be able to identify the opportunities and challenges that face the world and suggest solutions to help manage it. We want students to engage with this by investigating how the natural world works, how humans interact with the world, and the impacts they have on the environment. We want them to ask questions about the world and develop the range of skills needed to allow them to explore it in the classroom and beyond so wherever life takes them they can be confident global citizens.
