History is integral to the lives of all human beings. The study of History provides us, as a society, with the opportunity to understand and learn from the past and to create a better future for generations to come.

History as a subject is always evolving, and reflects current societal issues in order to aid student understanding of the world they live in today.

As a department, we have selected topics for study which we judge as vital to the historical education of students at Churston; events which have been decisive in shaping both national and world history. These topics emphasise the importance of our school values of Social Justice and Active Citizenship, whilst also providing opportunities for students to see how local histories link to these global historical topics. The intertwining of world, national, and local histories brings resonance and relevance to what is studied whilst also preparing students to take their place in the wider world.
Beyond the classroom
Beyond the classroom
Students have the chance to take part in History-themed clubs and societies and to stretch themselves through participation in competitions such as the Historical Association's Great Debate.
We also regularly run trips to historical sites, including a hugely popular residential trip to the WW1 battlefields of Flanders and the Somme.
