HISTORY
History | Curriculum Intent
Our mission is to stimulate the scholarly interest of our students in History, to nurture a spirit of enquiry and curiosity and a passion for the subject. We intend to develop resilience in our students, to make them question and think critically about information they are given, and to persevere and embrace challenge and difficulty.
We want them to recognise that History itself is an interpretation, and therefore consider a range of interpretations before forming their own judgement. We want them to develop empathy and an understanding of the diverse nature of society. History will teach them the art of collaboration and confidence.
