Past experiences have included GCSE trips to Berlin and Auschwitz, where students explore the rich and powerful History that is centred life under the Nazi regime and throughout the years of the Cold War. At A Level, students have the opportunity to meet experts in the fields of British warfare, enriching understanding of famous battles like Waterloo.
In addition to out-of-school activities, the History Department runs a KS3 History club. This is a club for students to engage with extra reading, participate in historical debates and study topics beyond the national curriculum to deepen their enjoyment and knowledge of history further.
