Course Description

History will open your eyes to the world, the people within it and demonstrate why it is important to understand our past to best understand our present and future.

Students will gain the skills and knowledge they require to competently and confidently identify, interpret and work with both primary and secondary source material. Whether that is analysing a speech by Martin Luther King Jr, interpreting the propaganda produced within Nazi Germany, or conducting historical research about the Dawn Raids, students will gain skills that will prepare them for future learning and life beyond the classroom.
