Episode 1: Our Sixth Form hosts sit down with one of our English teachers to talk all things literature.

At LEH, the Humanities lie at the heart of a rich and rounded education. Through subjects such as History, English Language & Literature, Geography, Latin & Classical Civilisation and Politics and more, students explore the complexity of human experience – past and present, near and far. We encourage critical thinking, thoughtful debate, and deep questioning, helping students to understand the world and their place within it. Whether analysing historical sources and fictional texts, debating ethical dilemmas, or investigating global challenges, our students develop the analytical skills, empathy, and intellectual curiosity that will stay with them for life.
