We are thrilled to share with you the engaging and thought-provoking journey our historians are undertaking. Throughout this term, our students are delving into pivotal moments in history, exploring the significance of events that have shaped our world.

Our students have learnt about and reflected on such as the signing of the Magna Carta (Y7) to the sobering study of the Shoah (Holocaust, Y9) and the role of the British Empire in the transatlantic slave trade (Y8). Our scholars are immersing themselves in the intricacies of these events and reflecting on the historical lessons they teach us, fostering critical thinking and empathy.

In this module, our passionate theologians have delved into deep reflections on commonly embraced religious perspectives. Our aim is to cultivate a thorough comprehension of religion while honing communication and critical thinking abilities. This endeavor has prompted students to address significant inquiries, such as: "Was Jesus truly as 'meek and mild' as portrayed in the Charles Wesley hymn, or was he a revolutionary challenging the societal norms of his era?" (Year 8), "What is the significance of religious buildings, and should they prioritise community service over wealth?" (Year 7), and "Does religion primarily exert influence as a force for power or peace in the world?" (Year 9).
