History

History is the story of humanity. It invites pupils to ask big questions about identity and function such as ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Why do we do things this way?’ By understanding civilisations and individual lives of the past, pupils can reflect upon the modern world around them, and crucially, possibilities for the future. Knowledge of Ancient Egypt, Greece and the Islamic Empire ensure our pupils develop as citizens of the world, whilst study of key aspects of British history from the Stone Age to the Battle of Hastings and the home front of WWII make them informed and curious citizens of the UK.
