Welcome Back!

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to the new school year, where everything is different and yet oddly familiar!

It has been great to see our children back in school and we are all delighted to have them back and feel the buzz that we have missed so much since March. We are also extremely grateful to you all for your patience, understanding and support during the lockdown period. We are keeping the information from last term in this section at the moment, just in case any student wishes to complete extra work at home in order to catch up. We all hope to stay open for the whole year, but it makes sense to prepare for the worst. If there does come a time when we need to go back into a lockdown, then we will operate it differently this year. This time around, if classes, year groups, or the whole school are asked to isolate, work will be set by teachers and emailed out to the students in their class using the school email addresses. It will be even more important this year for students to keep up with their work whilst at home, so we will be doing everything we can to support you in the event of us moving to online learning. In the meantime, we will keep our fingers crossed, stick to the extra hygiene and social distancing measures, and hope that we can stay open for everyone so we can keep doing what we do best...Working Together to Make Everything Better!

History

GCSE History

Students follow the AQA GCSE History course. The course is designed to enables students to study different aspects of the past, engaging with key issues such as conflict, drivers of change and influential events. This qualification is linear which means that the students sit two exams at the end of their Y11. Paper 1 focuses on the understanding of the modern world and Paper 2, the shaping of our nation. The specific subject content for GCSE History includes history:

  • from three eras:
    • Medieval (500–1500)
    • Early Modern (1450–1750)
    • Modern (1700–present day)
  • on three timescales:
  • short (depth study)
  • medium (period study)
  • long (thematic study)
  • a locality (the historic environment)
  • British
  • European and/or wider world settings.
