At St Cuthbert’s our History curriculum is designed to inspire an understanding and a love of learning about the past. We aim to make History meaningful by helping students to understand their own history, including personal, local and cultural heritage, enabling students to develop a strong sense of identity and belonging. We ensure geographical breadth, providing a broad and balanced exploration of British, European and global history. We ensure chronological breadth with a course spanning c63BC to the present day and opportunities to study historical topics over different timescales from broad thematic studies to small scale depth studies. Students are presented with the opportunity to engage with up-to-date historical scholarship and investigate how historians make claims about the past. We are committed to high expectations and promoting a strong work ethic. Through structured support and challenge, students are encouraged to take pride in their work and engage fully in their learning.
Our History subject leader is Mrs L Burlison.
