Course summary

As a department, we are committed to the study of history through the use of written, visual, oral and physical sources. As a student, you will experience history by exploring stories of the past and develop your interest in the subject during lessons while also having opportunities for independent learning. A study of the past is one of the most important and interesting areas that any student can undertake. At DGSB we aim to ensure that you understand and appreciate a variety of events, individuals, causes and consequences of the past – and that you enjoy the experience.
