History

The history department aims to deliver a well-rounded curriculum with high quality lessons to engage, inspire and ignite a passion for the subject.

Our students develop an understanding of Britain’s role in the context of the wider world, teaching them valuable lessons from the past. We encourage students to study History further at A Level or university. Alternatively, History provides a huge skillset, which can be adapted to whichever employment path they choose. The history curriculum enriches this skill-set, through a gradual build-up of both skills and knowledge, to ensure all students receive an overview of history across different time periods and areas of the world. The ultimate goal is for all pupils to be able to make good progress regardless of ability where individual needs and learning styles are catered to.
