The History curriculum aims to inspire students to become well rounded and passionate historians who think critically about the world they inhabit. To effectively interact with the modern world an understanding of student's own history, and that of those around them is essential.
In their study of History, they will consider a range of persectives and develop the ability to make balanced arguments and well sustained judgements. They will develop an understanding of how our history forms our sense of identiy and place in the world, and through studying a range of periods pupils will become more empathetic and open minded. Through a knowledge rich curriculum students will gain an in depth understanding of a range of events and issues throughout history and build their historical literacy and cenceptual understanding. This will ensure students can positively encounter and understand the dynamics of the modern world. Students will learn to ask thoughtful questions and develop independent, analytical thinking and a passion for learning ensuring they complete their history education as thoughtful academics. Throughout Key Stage Three there are many opportunuties to build a foundation of knowldge to help embed their learning and understanding and prepare them for their continued study at GCSE, A-Level and University.
