Key Stage 3

History

Pupils will learn about who we are as a nation and as global citizens by looking at the past through evidence and sources. They will look at history though people, places and ideas, looking at how things change over time and how things are changed forever. 

History at GCSE, if you choose to study it, teaches how to analyse information quickly and clearly, a key skill in a modern world filled with facts and opinion. Pupils will learn how to organise their ideas and communicate them in a clear, logical and persuasive way.

Cultural Capital in History

The best that has been thought:

  • Students become well versed in historical scholarship and its ever-changing nature and learn from historians such as David Olusoga. Other scholars include Pierre Bourdieu and his work on the creation of sociology.

The best that has been said:

  • Students study a wide range of historical sources from diverse voices and communities. There is the opportunity for them to explore other cultures and grow from gaining a different perspective on the world.

An appreciation for human creativity:

  • Students explore key developments in history across the world
  • Students look at how human ingenuity is helping to tackle geographical issues.

An appreciation of human achievement:

  • Students learn about how revolutions have helped to form the modern world.

Cultural capital in the humanities allows students to write and speak like an academic. Students form an understanding of the world we live in today, how it became this way and the issues we must face together.
