History
Intent:
Historians at BBG Academy recognise the importance of History in everyday life. History has a wider impact as it provides context to the modern world, as well as teaching skills such as empathy, analysis, and critical thinking. Moreover, history links well with other subjects, such as English, Geography, Sociology, Economics and Politics, among others. Our expectations of students are high; we expect them to engage in the subject by reading, writing, debating and deep thinking. In return, we work hard to provide stimulating and relevant lessons and offer all students, whatever their ability, the opportunity to maximise their potential. By the end of KS3 we want students to be able to explain how modern Britain was created and how it at various points has interacted with the world to bring it to its current position. We want students to understand how the world that we live in today has been shaped by the past. it is our aim that students continuously develop skills such as thinking, evaluating, analysing, empathising and communicating; there are very few jobs that do not require these skills.
The aims of the History Department are:
- We want the students to engage and love the subject as much as we do.
- We want the students to develop confidence and independence. Whether this be in reading, thinking, debating, writing or analysis.
- We want students to write like historians by understanding how to express their point of view clearly and effectively.
