The humanities team at Adwick is a large team of over 8 subject specialists, delivering History, Geography and RE. Our team thrives on its ability to build knowledge, develop skills and instil a passion and desire to learn more and more about the world around them. Having such a large team, from different career stages from ECT to School Standards and Improvement Partner for Humanities, gives us the opportunity to put forward creative ideas, discuss them, reflect on them and develop them even further, giving our students the best opportunities in lessons and providing outstanding teaching and learning in all classrooms.

CPD is incredibly important in our team, both focussed on our subject areas through OGAT subject training and also through whole school teaching and learning. All our classrooms are located along 2 corridors creating a very close-knit department who are very supportive of each other through the sharing of resources and also creating a welcoming environment for our students as they go down the corridors towards our amazing lessons.

At Key stage 3, both History and Geography are taught for a total of 5 hours across the 3 years (History has Y7 1 hour, Y8 Y9 2 hours, and Geography Y7 Y9 2 hours, Y8 1 hour). We have worked hard to develop our curriculum at key stage 3 to create an engaging and knowledge rich programme of study to include topics.

Some examples in History are How disruptive were the Normans? and Why did the barons keep on rebelling?. Some Geography examples include What are the effects of a changing population? and What causes rivers to flood?. History and geography are popular options at GCSE, we deliver Edexcel for History including Medicine through time, Elizabethan England, American West and Weimar and Nazi Germany, and for Geography AQA with Natural Hazards, Living world, Rivers and Coasts, Changing urban environments, Economic world and Resource management with a focus on Energy.
