3. Geography at King’s Ely is all about exploration. We move from the local to the
global, from the UK via Europe to the wider world, and from familiar to unfamiliar
ideas. Geography is an academically robust subject, combining creative elements
of the arts with the enquiry approach of the sciences, with people at its centre.
The department uses an enquiry approach based on the content of the national
curriculum. This enquiry approach is central to what we do: asking those big
questions and investigating, analysing, presenting and reviewing important issues
in the world.

41. THE GEOGRAPHICAL
TEACHER
DOUGLAS FRESHFIELD
Volume 1 Issue 1 Page 1 (1901)
‘In Britain, teachers are for the most part
too scattered and too busy to come together
frequently for discussion. They require a
medium through which they may readily
communicate with one another, exchange
experiences and learn the progress that is
being made in method or in appliances in our
own country and abroad’
