Humanities

The Humanities Teaching and Learning Area integrates a variety of skills that will help aid students into further education and the work place.

Emphasis is placed on analytical skills, argumentative thought and writing, maturity of oral responses and source evaluation all through an investigative approach to learning. Students are encouraged to develop awareness of current affairs and the wider world. The development of provision of SMSC is seen as a priority as Humanities allows for this to be extensively discussed. Students are encouraged to develop a social conscience and have awareness for the wider world.

The Humanities Teaching and Learning Area reinforce learning through a number of off site visit opportunities, which include, for example; visits to local places of worship; geography urban and river fieldwork in Suffolk; international visits to destinations such as the World War 1 battlefields and cultural visits to destinations such as Paris, Berlin, Rome and Amsterdam.
