Welcome to the History Department! We begin year 7 by looking at primary and secondary sources as well as defining why history is an important subject to study. We then move on to a study of Medieval Britain. Topics include clothing, village life as well as the Battle of Hastings.
We travel back to Tudor times in year 8 and cover the life and times of Henry VIII and his six wives, tudor homes, clothes and society. We also investigate the lives of his three children as well as the English Reformation.
In year 9 we begin by studying the Industrial Revolution of Britain. In this section attention shall be drawn to the many inventions and developments which facilitated in the rapid change of Britain’s society. We shall then look at child labour, living conditions and the economic, social and environmental impact not only concerning Britain but indeed the World.
