The focus of learning in the Humanities Faculty at High Tunstall College of Science is the study of people and their relationships, and interactions, in terms of time, place, belief and environment. We aim to encourage and foster an understanding of students place in the world, their own identity and for them to understand the world in which they live. Students are encouraged to develop their own potential by examining the natural events around them and the life experiences of other peoples in different places and times.
Humanities is taught as three distinct subject disciplines with cross curricular themes and concepts developed where possible at both KS3 and KS4. Through promoting a common approach across the Humanities Faculty and the specific knowledge, understanding and skills of CPE (Citizenship, Philosophy & Ethics), Geography and History we hope to achieve these aims.
We intend for students to enjoy and embrace learning in the Humanities Faculty, to reach their potential, and to thrive as independent learners through a varied yet challenging curriculum utilising the expertise of supportive teachers for individual student needs.
