We are a team of enthusiastic and hard-working History specialists. We aim to convey our passion for History to our pupils; developing in them a sense of awe and understanding of how the events of the past shape the present and the future. Pupils in History study a broad range of Historical periods and have the opportunity to debate, discuss and analyse the responsibility that we all have to create the modern world.
Please see below to learn more about the History curriculum at St Monica’s.
History is the study of people over time. St Monica’s pupils will develop their historical knowledge and understanding of significant individual stories, ideas and events that have shaped our world. They will connect their knowledge and understanding to other subjects and current events in order to understand the relevance of past events in shaping the world they live in and promote social justice, tolerance and respect. As pupils develop their disciplinary knowledge they will reflect on how the past has been remembered by engaging with diverse opinions and consequences of events and decisions made in the past. Pupils will be challenged to question misconceptions of the past, their views on the world based on their knowledge and understanding of past events and reach informed conclusions on big questions.
