Curriculum Intent – Humanities

Humanities at Falconer School combines learning from the National Curriculum subjects of Geography and History. The intent of the curriculum is to provide all students with secure knowledge and understanding of our shared past, geographical processes and features that shape our world and inspire all students to be inquisitive about the world, and society, around them.

Humanities intends to broaden and deepen knowledge whilst also developing skills of inquiry, placing an emphasis on questioning, hypothesising, investigating and drawing conclusions – skills vital to future academic and vocational progress.

The Key Stage 4 offer is reflective of the inclusive intent of Humanities studies at Falconer School and is tailored to the needs of individuals and cohorts – with the possibility of studying towards a GCSE in History and/or Geography, or an Entry Level in combined Humanities.
