HISTORY

Curriculum Intent 

At CHS we believe History should be an ENJOYable subject which fires students' curiosity and imagination and inspires them to engage with the dilemmas, choices and beliefs of people in the past.

History is an essential part of the curriculum from year 7 to 13. The subject aims to provide students with a good understanding of societies at a local, national and international level thus enabling them to develop a well-rounded knowledge of the past and its events.

To achieve this we aim to provide an inclusive curriculum that represents our school community, allowing all our pupils to develop a better understanding of their place in our world, through gaining an understanding of their own cultural capital. 

History at CHS ENDEAVOURS to be ambitious and motivating. Ambitious in its coverage of history and thorough teaching of historical skills and concepts; motivating through engaging activities, trips and visits that give all students an opportunity to question the past.

It will prepare students for the future, equipping them with knowledge and skills that allows them to EXCEL in adult life.
