We aim to develop learners who are not only confident in subject knowledge but strong communicators, thinkers and inquirers. We want toinspire our students to seek an understanding of the wider world around them in Geography. The Leigh UTC is a STEM-based provision, but our learners enjoy and value their studies in Humanities and see the relevance of the subject to the rest of their studies and to their futures.
The Coordinator of Learning for Humanities is an experienced practitioner who is keen to support people to develop their practice as well as collaborate to make the curriculum an exciting and inspiring journey for the pupils at The Leigh UTC. This supportive environment makes this a great opportunity for an Early Career Teacher (ECT) to develop; but anyone with a strong interest in teaching and learning will love the atmosphere in this department!
