I'm using a simple umbraco template to get and display child pages for seo

howerver for Nodes of the Country level, i get a 404 page is left blank, but for the children pages it works dandy..

    @using ISC.Web.Models.Cms.Content;
@inherits UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedContent>
@{
    Layout = "_SiteMasterView.cshtml";

   // IscStandardPage iscPage = new IscStandardPage(Model);

}

@*<div class="wrapper-block container">

    @if (iscPage.SliderPicker != null) 
    { 
        @Html.Partial("Slider", iscPage.SliderPicker)
    } 
    @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/Breadcrumb.cshtml", Model)

    <h1>Independent schools in @Model.GetPageH1()</h1>
    @if (Model.GetPropertyValue("introParagraph") != null)
    {
        <p class="intro">@Model.GetPropertyValue("introParagraph")</p>
    } 
        <p>Find <strong>independent schools in @Model.GetPageH1()</strong> using the list below.</p>
        <p>Alternatively, why not visit our <a href="/find-a-school/">Find a School section</a>. Here you can find out more about independent schools in @Model.GetPageH1(), use our school search and view a list of independent schools for special educational needs.</p>
      <ul class="school-directory">
        @foreach (IPublishedContent childContent in Model.Children)
        {
            <li><a href="@(childContent.Url)">@(childContent.Name)</a></li>
        }
    </ul>
</div>*@
