History Introduction

History Course Overview:

Key Stage 3

Pupils follow the National Curriculum and study mainly British History, beginning in Year 7 with Romans and the Middle Ages. In Year 8 we focus on Tudors and Stuarts and end the year with Black Peoples of the
Americas. Year 9 pupils study the Industrial Revolution and the Twentieth Century World.

Key Stage 4

Pupils may opt to continue their studies. We follow the OCR Modern World History BJ417.  This consists of International Relations 1919 - 2005 and a depth study.  The course is assessed by two written exams (75%), one internally assessed controlled task (25%).

Methods of teaching and learning vary a great deal. Our main aim is to help pupils learn about the past so that they develop a better understanding of the present and future.
