The Humanities Faculty is one of the largest within Quintin Kynaston. Students are able to study a variety of subjects at all key stage levels within the faculty. These include Religious Studies, Geography, History, Psychology, Government and Politics, Sociology and Health and Social care.

The essence of the Humanities Faculty is very much about developing students to become active and engaged citizens. These skills are developed through a broad and challenging curriculum where students reflect on major events from the past; current modern day world issues; the importance of culture and identity as well as gaining an understanding of how decisions they make can change the future world.

The Humanities Faculty continue to offer Humanities GCSE to year 10. This two-year programme allows all students to combine all the major subjects within the Humanities faculty when studying issues such as conflict, environmental issues, social issues and also ethical issues.

Humanities provide many learning opportunities outside of the classroom in the form of trips and enrichment activities. Within Geography students have the opportunity to visit local rivers to develop the preparatory knowledge for their coursework. Within Sociology, students participate in a video conference debating contemporary issues with professionals in the field and also with other schools. Within A-Level Psychology, workplace psychologists visit and deliver a session to students to support their studies.

The Humanities Department is made up of a young and enthusiastic team of teachers who are very passionate about their subject areas. This is evident through the popularity of all subjects at KS4 and KS5 levels and also improving GCSE and A-Level results.
