History connects young people’s present to events, people and places of the past and the world today. We engage with students to ask and answer historical questions and delve into key concepts, evidence, and historical scholarship. We look at how the past shapes Britain and the wider world and develop skills of critical thinking and analysis.

With a broad and diverse curriculum, we develop substantive and disciplinary knowledge. The range of political, social, cultural and economic topics taught and discussed helps with the powerful knowledge from 1066 to the present day. There are links between concepts in KS3 to our KS4 papers to help with knowledge (contextual) but also key terms.
