What is History?
History is a subject that studies the past, in order to understand and prepare you for the future.
Our department’s main goal is to encourage you to develop a love for the subject! As experienced teachers we aim to provide all our students with knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past, as well as the wider world. Our curriculum is designed to intrigue the curiosity of our students by introducing numerous historical perspectives in order to understand the process of change and the impact this has on people’s lives, relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity.
Each term we investigate a specific period in history by using an enquiry question, or exploring a historian’s point of view. This will encourage you to use the past and our history to not only question the world around us, but also to make the world a better place.
