Humanities is committed to ensuring that students of all backgrounds are equipped to become
global citizens who are keenly aware of their place in history, the world and culture.
Students will be taught to think critically and use literacy and oracy to effectively articulate their understanding of religion, culture, history and geography. With these tools students will have a far greater chance of contributing positively to society and the world.
Geography provides our students with a variety of topics, which builds on their knowledge of the world around them. Through Years 7, 8 and 9 our students will focus on a range of topics, which cover both human and physical geography, with, field work opportunities. All lessons have been designed to teach the necessary skills and content needed at GCSE and for the future. We strive to stimulate our students and take into account individual needs through a range of activities, therefore developing an interest in the world in which they live. Finally, we ensure that we cover a number of local and global geographical issues, which directly affect our students. Summary of the curriculum at KS4 and key skills
