Humanities
At King’s School, the study of History helps to give children a sense of their own identity within our country’s social, political, cultural and economic background. We ensure the progressive development of historical concepts such as: ‘significance’, ‘continuity and change’ and ‘evaluating evidence’.

Children build up a knowledge bank of historical facts and an understanding of chronology through the provision of a History curriculum which is broad, balanced and relevant. This helps children gain a level of historical understanding appropriate to their age, ability and maturity. The study of Geography at King's School includes pupils in exploring the relationship and interactions between people and the environments in which they live and upon which they depend.
We seek to develop young geographers who are able to make links and connections between the natural world and human activity and to understand the kind of questions geographers ask such as ‘Why is this place like it is, how is it changing and what will the costs and benefits of these changes be when they happen?’. We will ensure that what our pupils learn in Geography, not only inspires and stretches them intellectually, but also contributes to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and helps to prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in the 21st century.
