Humanities
In Humanities we explore how people have created their world and how they, in turn, have been created by it.
At John Mason School, Humanities consists of:
- Humanities (Year 7)
- History (KS3-5)
- Geography (KS3-5)
- RS (KS3-4)
These subjects are linked together because they are all about human beings: how they live, how they work together, how they think, how they behave, their culture, values, beliefs, ideas and past.
To do well in Humanities, students need to be willing to think critically about the society in which they live. To think afresh about ideas that most people take for granted and to ask questions that help them better understand the world around them. At John Mason we embed these skills from Year 7 onwards building students who are able question, think and analyse human society, past and present.
