Humanities
The Humanities team aims to provide high quality teaching in a positive and encouraging environment, developing pupils’ confidence to ‘have a go’ at understanding. They will be able to understand the “where” of places and events and become more culturally aware, as well as developing an understanding of the origins of different peoples and important events that have shaped their world.
Middle School

Students also complete two independent historical investigations. In Geography students study a range of physical and human geography topics, developing a range of geographical skills.
In RE students study the 5 main world religions and a range of moral and ethical issues. Students learn about the teachings and practices of different religions as well as gaining an understanding of the impact of religion on society and their own lives
