History KS5 – Map of Learning 2019-20
History is the study of the past and we seek to teach students in an interesting and stimulating manner. We use a wide range of approaches including DVD/video material, textbooks, extended writing and visits. Students are encouraged to develop their knowledge and understanding through extended writing and project work. The atmosphere in History classrooms is animated and thoughtful.
