History

The intent of our History department is to deliver a broad, balanced and diverse curriculum which is research-informed to best support all our students.

We ensure that we utilise quality first teaching in our lessons, whereby we set a high level of challenge for our most able students but also scaffolding support for students, including pupil premium and SEND students, to ensure all students can access and master the challenging content we teach in History.

We explore a range of past events, stories and voices interweaved into the tapestry of our curriculum. This ensures the delivery of a fuller narrative of the past to our students, which prepares them to be global citizens, by exposing them to narratives from a range of geographical areas, time periods, and various protected characteristics.

Students are exposed to powerful knowledge, made up of a combination of key substantive and disciplinary knowledge that supports previous learning and underpins future learning to help develop students into independent learners.

Students will master the fundamental skills of the historian, including critical thinking and analytical skills (such as causational thinking), the necessary linguistic skills of the historian to communicate their historical arguments and the use of source material and interpretations to construct accounts of the past.

We ensure that literacy and numeracy are also at the core of everything we do in History, may this be through explicitly teaching the linguistic skills of the historian or the use of numerical skills, such as ranking, to help construct arguments.

Exposing students to multiple narratives and honing their skills as historians will equip them with a deeper understanding of the past to meaningfully contribute and interact within our local, national and international communities upon leaving the Academy, but also foster a love for History beyond their time at the Academy, may this be in a personal capacity or moving forward in the academic field in Further and Higher Education.
