Humanities
The Humanities Faculty Subjects:
In Year 7, all learners have separate specialist teaching of History, Geography, Religious Studies (RS) and Personal Social Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE). Within the faculty, all learners will have two History lessons a week and one each of the other subjects this year; this will increase in subsequent years. In RS, the six major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism); as well as humanism will be studied. In PSHCE, learners will learn about puberty, relationships and aspects of sex education.
Why are Humanities subjects important?
Humanities is an important area of study for all learners, as it will help them develop as an individual and as a member of society, by engaging with our British heritage and the wider world. They will develop their ability to articulate themselves in written and spoken form; they will hone their skill in presenting arguments by executing an acute analysis of information before reporting a balanced point of view thus leading them to make an informed judgement. Our learners’ excellence in the Humanities field will have a direct positive impact on their involvement in Eden Girls’ community projects.
