The study of history provides opportunities for the pupils to experience and, where appropriate, to develop some understanding of events and people of different times and places. It enriches the curriculum by offering the pupils to be actively involved in exploring the world around them. This is achieved through exploring and handling artefacts, visiting museums, stories, books, photos and through practical craft like activities linked to particular topics.  

The study of geography allows the pupils to explore, experience and develop an understanding of such areas as their local environment, eg their school, local shops, the weather, jobs, water, maps, directions and exploring the differences between the country and the town.  In the senior school it is hoped that in the future pupils will be involved in activities to help them develop greater links with schools in Uganda and Afghanistan.

For the pupils in the Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and for most of the pupils in Key Stage 2, the teaching of Humanities is largely based on an Early Years approach where aspects of history and geography are incorporated in with the New Curriculum under the broad heading of ‘Knowledge & Understanding'. The more able pupils are timetabled for a discreet lesson of geography and history and themes such as weather, water, around our school, my history and famous people are covered. The staff alternate history and geography on a termly basis throughout the year.

In Key Stage 3 pupils receive one discreet lesson each week where history and geography themes follow a 3 year rolling cycle and history and geography is alternated each term.

In Key Stages 4 & 5 Humanities is not taught. However, some aspects of Humanities are linked with Religious Education, e.g. Martin Luther King and American civil rights and Anne Frank in the context of the Holocaust.  In Key Stage 5 Humanities is linked to planned themed days.
