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.Â
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.

An appreciation for human creativity:
- Students explore key developments in history across the world
