Curriculum Framework
We open proceedings with a 'tour through the second Millennium AD', with the Battle of Hastings re-enacted at the outset of Year 7. We then move through the English Civil War and Slavery in Year 8 and conclude with the horrors of Auschwitz and Hiroshima in Year 9. The momentous events of the 20th Century form the focus for a Modern World Study at GCSE. Incorporated into this is a trip to the battlefields of the First World War in Belgium and France. In the Sixth Form the emphasis is on contrasting the achievement of democracy and freedom in Britain and America with the dictatorship of the Third Reich.
Government and Politics are also taught in the Sixth Form and a trip to Parliament and the Cabinet War Rooms/Imperial War Museum is offered to Sixth Formers.
