History

At The Park, we believe that having an interest in history is pivotal for students' understanding of the country they live in and the world around them.

Our students investigate areas of Britain's past from Medieval England to Britain's role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade in order to give a balanced and accurate picture of how we have become the diverse, multicultural society we are today. They learn about the achievements of famous people from a range of backgrounds from Ibn Battuta to Mary Seacole and more. Our aim is for students to leave The Park equipped to pursue their interest in investigating history further and with an awareness of how people from a range of cultures have contributed to our world.

Students are taught in a way that motivates, engages and challenges them at a level suitable for their personal academic and social development. There is an emphasis on working with others in lessons and engaging with IT and physical artifacts as much as possible. Students are also given the opportunity to take their learning outside the classroom and visit important historical sites around the local area.
