History

Course summary

The History department strives to challenge students to live by the school's core values: “Respect, Responsibility, Resilience”. We mirror the school’s clear expectation that every student will strive to be the best that they can be in all that they do and as a department we will work with students to help them achieve the very best outcomes at all levels. In order to achieve our aims, we endeavor to: • Ensure all students make outstanding progress, irrespective of their starting points. • Ensure all history lessons include relevant challenges, student engagement, and a focus on celebrating success. • Promote independent learning which enables all students to willingly and confidently tackle challenging tasks. • Provide all students with a positive climate for learning and insist on the highest standards of behavior at all times. • Encourage all students to think critically, challenge differing interpretations, interrogate evidence, and present alternative arguments about the events and individuals who have shaped the world they live in. • Provide all students with the support and guidance they need to achieve success.
