Our Vision
A vision for the department was discussed and the key ideas are below. This vision is intended to inform our endeavours as a department and as geography teachers.
The Geographers at King Edward VI Five Ways School aim to:
- Be the best Geography Department in the UK
- Build an extraordinary learning community that goes beyond the curriculum.
- Foster a spirit of enquiry and continual improvement.
- Draw on the rich variety of experience and views to support a coherent and collegiate approach to teaching and learning
- Nurture links with other schools and departments locally, nationally and globally
For pupils we seek to engender:
- Knowledge and understanding of the planet Earth and its peoples.
- Lasting awareness of the world around us.
- Sensitivity and empathy towards all others.
- Tolerance and independent thinking.
- Preparedness for an active citizen’s role in a changing world.
In our department every person’s opinion counts and is valued, the pupil voice is encouraged and listened to.

GIS
GIS is essentially a funky map!! It is a series of complex geographical data and is simply a route by which this data can be analysed and explored. This enables Geographers to focus upon the geography of places and relationships. GIS is a geographical information system and essentially it is a software tool that is available for geographers to aid the mapping and spatial analysis of data and information.
