History

Our History curriculum empowers students to think critically about the world they live in.

Here’s what sets us apart:

Questioning the Past:

We encourage students to analyse historical events and perspectives, fostering independent thinking beyond ‘received wisdom’. Don’t just accept information at face value – learn to question and examine evidence.

Global Context:

Move beyond a solely British perspective. Students explore a variety of cultures and historical events on a local, national, and international scale, from Ancient times to the Modern era. This global awareness is crucial for understanding how our world is interconnected.

Building Historical Worlds:

Immerse yourself in different historical periods through engaging activities like “building worlds” in your mind. Historical fiction becomes a springboard for exploration, igniting curiosity and sparking questions about the past. Diverse Voices: Encounter a range of historical figures and perspectives, gaining a well-rounded understanding of the past. Learn about the world from the viewpoints of people from
all walks of life.
