“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” Maya Angelou

History is vital to our understanding of the present; it teaches us who we are and where we have come from. History teaches us to question people and be critical of evidence that we are presented with, it also teaches us to listen and debate. These skills are important transferrable skills that we can take into every other lesson at school and into our lives outside school and work.

“Only a good for nothing is not interested in his past.” Sigmund Freud

KS3 Curriculum:

In line with the National Curriculum document, our history curriculum aims to teach students important aspects of local, British, European and World History as well as the key concepts, processes and skills required to study history successfully.  At the same time we ensure history is both engaging and challenging by exploring both past and contemporary and relevant social, political and economic issues.
