The Humanities faculty includes English, history, geography, religious studies and media studies, and modern and ancient languages – Latin, Greek, Classical Civilisation, French, German and Spanish. Most of the traditional humanities subjects are taught in the Dower House, a 200-year-old traditional Yorkshire stone villa.
The Classical and Modern Language Faculty teaches ancient and modern languages – Latin, Ancient Greek, French, German and Spanish. Classical languages are taught in the Watson building, and modern languages in dedicated rooms within the Schofield building language suite. A multi-media language laboratory is shared by modern and classical languages.

The faculty facilities include a multi-purpose sports hall, fitness room, climbing wall, outdoor courts and track and field sports. It contains art studios, a performing arts theatre and drama studio, and a dedicated music house and food technology rooms. In the summer of 2011 the school built a new dance studio. All areas incorporate ICT within their work using the ICT facilities across the school.
