Humanities and Religious Education

Humanities

We teach Geography and History as discrete subjects, working from the Early Years to build pupils knowledge and the skills they need to access and answer historical and geographical questions of increasing complexity as they rise through the school. We believe the humanities are important because is helps young learners to:

  • understand concepts related to human culture such as time, space and belief in how human beings can understand themselves and their relationship with the natural world, places and with each other;
  • develop skills and habits associated with critical thinking such as assessing and interpreting information
  • explore their own identities, values and beliefs, enabling them to be interested in those of other peoples
  • learn to understand, and empathise with people who are different, as well as those who are similar, challenging stereotypes and becoming more humane and compassionate individuals.’

 

We follow the KAPOW curriculum through the Early Years and Key Stage 1, before embarking on the Opening Worlds curriculum in Key Stage 2.
