Information about the Humanities Faculty
History sits within the wider faculty of Humanities, which also includes Geography, Business Studies, Law and Religious Studies.
The team
The Humanities Faculty is staffed by ten teachers with a range of backgrounds and expertise. There is a head of faculty who works alongside the heads of subject to lead the team. We are a team committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning, delivering a high-quality curriculum to the full range of students. Most lessons are taught along a humanities corridor, and we take pride in ensuring that students conduct themselves well and are ready to learn in our area of the school. We work together to create and develop teaching resources and these are shared across departments.
Facilities
From September 2021, the school moved to a new site within Northallerton. The site provides state of the art learning facilities including an enhanced digital learning environment, new and fully refurbished teaching spaces, large open plan learning resource centre and a newly built sixth form centre for our rapidly expanding sixth form.
All the classrooms are equipped with a computer, an interactive white board and a data projector. Large computer rooms are available to book.
Key Stages 3 and 4
In Key Stage 3, we teach a broad history curriculum that works chronologically through the key stage. Beginning with Pompeii, the curriculum then moves from early medieval England to the modern world. The curriculum is centrally resourced through student booklets.
At Key Stage 4, we teach the AQA GCSE course. Students study medicine in Britain, the Normans, the Cold War and interwar Germany. History is a very popular GCSE option, consistently attracting well over half of our students, taught in four classes. Across the school, history is taught in mixed-ability classes.
Key Stage 5/ Post-16
At Key Stage 5, we teach the AQA A-level course. Students study Tudor Britain for their breadth study and Democracy and Nazism in Germany for their depth study. Students write their NEA on questions relating to civil rights in the USA.
If you would like to discuss any aspects of the faculty’s work or the post, please contact Mr C Smart, Head of Humanities Faculty on csmart@arete.uk or 01609 773340.
