GEOGRAPHY teaching at Bruche Primary in Warrington has received a golden mark of approval from the Geographical Association.
The Warrington Primary Academy Trust school has just learned that it has been awarded a gold quality mark from the organisation for the quality of teaching and learning in the subject.
The Geography Quality Mark recognises quality and progress in geography teaching and learning, curriculum development, and leadership.
Schools that receive the gold award have demonstrated that they can achieve high standards by integrating geography into their curriculum, said assistant headteacher Chris Gould.
He said: “The Gold award level identifies not only that high-quality geography is happening but is embedded across the school and is shared more widely with the community. Collaboration within the staff was key to achieving this prestigious award.”
The Geography Association is the subject association for teachers of geography. The organisation supports high-quality geography education by enabling teachers of geography around the country to share ideas and learn from each other.
Bruche Primary is one of eight primary schools that make up Warrington Primary Academy Trust (WPAT), a community of more than 2,300 children aged 2 to 11. WPAT was formed in 2016 and quickly developed a national reputation for excellent standards. WPAT provides staff at all its schools with support, expertise and professional development so that they can provide the very best education standards for their children.
