History

Course summary

History at Francis Holland School is not just the learning of a series of dates and events – although they are important – rather we aim to inspire every student to achieve a wider and deeper understanding of the past, and therefore of the contemporary world, while developing key skills of critical analysis and good judgement. We develop students’ understanding of the nature of change and continuity, causation, consequence and significance in history, as well as of interpretations of the past in light of the context of the given society.
