The Humanities Department in Coop-Academy Failsworth is a dynamic and forward-looking subject area which has made great progress in recent years. It is made up of the discrete subjects of geography and history. At Key Stage 3 the faculty has a curriculum that is more ambitious than the National Curriculum. The strong schemes of work provide the students with the foundations of knowledge, skills and understanding required for further study at GCSE. At the same time the imaginative pedagogy fosters a good degree of enjoyment, making the subjects very popular option choices at Key Stage 4. The subjects both follow diverse and engaging topics which allow our students to have a broad understanding of the past and their place in modern society. Key Stage 4 begins in Year 10 following the AQA GCSE for both subjects. In history students study the following topics at GCSE: America 1920 73 Britain: Power and the People Norman England Conflict and tension 1918 39 In geography students study the following topics at GCSE: Living with physical environment e.g. volcanoes and earthquakes Challenges in the human environment e.g. redevelopment Fieldwork Geography and History are taught separately throughout the school by a team of ten specialist teachers and all teach across the age and ability range. Within humanities all classes are of mixed ability. The school timetable operates on a weekly cycle of 5 one hour periods on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. On a Thursday the periods are 50 minutes and this enables a focussed CPD session to take place in the afternoon. In Year 7, 8 and 9 students receive one or two lessons each week depending on the subject. This increases to three lessons each week in years 10 and 11. Classrooms on the Humanities wing are well equipped with a desktop computer, internet access, a Promethean interactive whiteboard, a dry wipe whiteboard and storage cupboards. The staff base on the humanities wing is the focal point for the department. There are a number of desktop computers to enable staff to plan and prepare lessons. All lessons are centrally planned by the department. Lessons are adapted the teachers using responsive teaching to ensure that the needs of each class are met.
