Humanities and RE

The humanities curriculum in the Riviera Education Trust encompasses learning in History, Geography and RE and seeks to encourage pupils to think creatively; to reason about being human and to ask questions about our world.

The study of humanities seeks to build two types of knowledge:

  • Substantive knowledge – the knowledge pupils ought to remember and recall
  • Disciplinary knowledge - the sorts of questions, responses, ideas and concepts pupils will understand if they have mastered the subject.
