The History Department at Spratton Hall aims to provide a stimulating environment in which our pupils are encouraged to adopt a lively and questioning approach to their studies. We want our pupils to enjoy their History lessons and develop a love for the subject that stays with them throughout their time at the school and beyond. The course is both varied and enjoyable: instilling a sense of empathy for characters from historical events, enhanced by workshops and off-site visits; and giving pupils opportunities to carry out their own research. We believe that History is so much more than, ‘telling the story’. Our pupils develop the full range of historical skills needed to excel at CE and beyond. They become confident thinkers, who can evaluate sources and artefacts, ask intelligent questions and make considered judgements based on evidence.
