We discover the past together! The aim of the History department is that students should view history as a fun and interesting subject. All teachers within the department love and value the study of the past, and we want students to match this passion, generating an interest in the past that will remain with them for life. Students should have an understanding of how the world we live in has been shaped by the past.
