Humanities Faculty The Humanities faculty at Tuxford consists of eleven teachers who have a range of teaching experience and expertise. We are a friendly and supportive group of people with experience of working alongside both PGCE students and NQT’s to enable them to reach their full potential. As a school, and a faculty, we are committed to the continued development of our staff. The faculty offers a full range of courses in Geography, History, Religious Education and Post 16 Sociology. The departments work very closely together, encouraging teamwork within and between subjects. We are committed to fostering a positive attitude towards the Humanities by presenting them as interesting, exciting and creative subjects. Our team approach ensures that students enjoy a relevant and well-rounded experience. We have a firm belief in the ‘can do’ ethos, ensuring that everyone (both staff and students) achieves his or her full potential The majority of pupils at Tuxford School are well motivated and keen to learn and their success lies at the heart of all we do in the Humanities faculty. Whilst we favour active learning approaches, we are committed to the ongoing development of the quality of both teaching and learning styles and to fostering a positive attitude towards Humanities amongst our pupils. We are dedicated to raising aspirations and achievement. Grouping of Students. Years 7 to 9, students are taught in mixed ability tutor groups in Geography, RE and History.
