History at KS3 through to ‘A’ level is delivered by a specialist team of historians.
History at Wrenn is very active. We have visiting speakers, we go on trips and we borrow artefacts/loan boxes on archaeology, Romans, slavery, World War Two and Medicine Through Time, which we have used in lessons giving pupils a ‘hands on’ experience.
Trips this year (2009) have included:
Rockingham Castle Duxford Warwick Castle Peterborough Museum Birmingham Think Tank
History is delivered at the Doddington Road site in four specialist classrooms each with its own projector. History is a popular option both at GCSE and at ‘A’ level.
What is Studied: Year 7
In Year 7 students study Opening Minds’ a course of integrated History/Geography/Citizenship. In this the students study:
How I can be the best at learning? (including key skills and learning styles) What does it mean to be British? (including stereotypes and the Battle of Hastings) What influences where we settle? (including settlements and castles) Grand Designs – Buildings for the Future (including Romans) Are the Olympics something we should be proud of? Malawi – a world apart or a home from home?
In year 9 History students study The Suffragettes as part of their 20th Century world unit.They learn how many broke the law and were arrested for the cause of getting votes for women. Whilst in prison many suffragettes went on hunger strike and were forcibly fed. For homework students were asked to write a poem about the force feeding of suffragettes.
