School is Open

June Update:

We are open to ALL students in years 7-10 who need to attend. If your child's mental health is suffering and they would benefit from attending, please contact your Head of House or Learning Mentor to discuss a plan.

All Year 10 students are being encouraged to attend for at least some time in school during this half term. We will be in touch over the coming weeks to organise this with each family. There is no demand to return, we just feel it would be a good idea for them to have some time in school before the summer.

For all other year groups, if your child is doing well at home, our advice is to keep them off for the rest of this school year if at all possible and encourage them to access learning through the website. We will keep in touch through our regular phone calls.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Please do contact us at schooloffice@wirralhs.co.uk if you need additional support.

Stay safe!

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.
  • on three geographical contexts:
