The History team is a dynamic and innovative department with a consistent track record of delivering excellent progress and results for students. It is part of Malala House alongside Geography, GPS, RS, Citizenship, Psychology and a host of other subjects within the Humanities family. We offer a variety of trips to locations such as the Battlefields, Berlin and Krakow.

The History department consists of teaching from KS3 to KS5. We offer the IB MYP History curriculum in KS3, the AQA History in KS4 and in KS5 we offer the IBDP History course.
