The team of teachers are a diverse collection of highly committed and talented individuals whose aim it is to provide outstanding teaching and learning for their pupils.
The faculty vision is to be outstanding in everything it does. Humanities is at the forefront of an ever changing world and has a huge responsibility in preparing young people for life after school, therefore analysis, understanding and tolerance is at the heart of our curriculum. Improving pupils learning within Humanities will always be at the top of the agenda. Implementing a thorough programme of study and increasingly varied teaching styles combined with hard work and a positive outlook will continue to improve pupils learning.
Regular out of hours learning opportunities are available as well as numerous educational visits both home and abroad.
