History

Course summary

Students taking History will be informed, provoked and entertained as our aim is not merely to narrate ‘what happened’, but to encourage students to see the subject as a creative analysis of the past. Class discussions are a central part of lessons, and in the more relaxed atmosphere of small groups, students learn to express their opinions with force. They discover that judgements and opinions are never accepted at face value - everything is challenged, and tested against the evidence.
