History

History allows young people to explore the times that shaped our world as well as challenging their skills and abilities. Whether they are venturing back to the important ‘Free at Last?’ topic about the Civil Rights movement in the USA, or looking at the impact that the ‘Rise of the Nazis’ had on our world, History allows young people to explore these significant times as well as continually developing their academic and enquiry skills.
