History

Subject Overview

 We are not makers of history. We are made by history.  

(Martin Luther King, Jr.)

In the History department, pupils will develop their understanding of the world by learning about other people and their values, in different times, places and circumstances. Our young people have the opportunity to develop a map of the past and an appreciation and understanding of the forces which have shaped the world today through the study of Scottish, British, European and World History.
Young people will develop their skills in the areas of research, presentation, analysis evaluation and source handling – all of which are much sought after by both universities and employers.
