Staffing & Courses
Staffing
The Humanities Faculty is currently made up of twelve members of staff, teaching History, Geography, RE, Sociology, Politics and Psychology. Within the Faculty we also have two Pastoral Team Leaders and an RE specialist AST. There is a broad spectrum of experience and age which creates a very enthusiastic and supportive environment. As a Faculty we are committed to developing the teaching and learning of humanities and are looking for someone to engage and assist in this process.
