History
Studying History helps students to understand the past as well equipping them with skills to make sense of the present.
We are a very passionate department with a range of interests in different periods of History.
We try to teach in a range of techniques which test students in different ways and encourage learners of all abilities and learning styles.
At Key Stage 4, we follow the AQA History Specification. Here we study the Norman invasion in some depth before looking at Migration, Empire and the People. We also study the Cold War - Conflict between East and West: 1945-72 and America from the 1920s to the 1970s. This Course is 2 Papers and 100% Examination.
