Subject Overview

History fires curiosity and imagination, moving and inspiring pupils with dilemmas, choices and beliefs from the past. Pupils develop their own identities through understanding history and it helps them ask and answer questions of the present by engaging with the past.

As they develop their understanding, pupils evaluate important questions and evidence, identify and analyse interpretations of the past, and substantiate arguments and judgements they make.

History prepares pupils for the future, equipping them with knowledge and skills that are prized in adult life, enhancing employability and developing an ability to take part in a democratic society.

We also offer trips to:

The Battlefield Tours, Ypres, Belgium (2 Days)
The Holocaust Memorial Museum
