KS3 Humanities - Geography, History and PRE
‘You can’t change the world unless you understand it’
Geography
Our aim is to create lifelong geographers who can ask questions, offer explanations, see connections, and critically evaluate evidence. We want our students to be more open minded, less stereotypical and have a passion for the world they live in and care about their surroundings. We want our students to think deeply about areas of the world that they are not familiar with, which is why we have chosen to focus on continents. The following concepts underpin our curriculum.
History
PRE - Philosophy, Religion and Ethics
The Philosophy, Religion and Ethics (PRE) curriculum is designed to engage students’ critical thinking skills as they tackle some of the most fundamental questions in life. Questions such as “How should life best be lived?” or “Does God exist” may not be easy to answer but the mental journey is very valuable.
Every year some students opt to continue their study of some of these questions in more depth by choosing GCSE Religious Studies and/or Philosophy at A Level. However, at whatever stage students finish, their knowledge of the moral and religious world around them should help them understand what motivates others, as well as respecting cultures, beliefs and traditions that are not their own.
