History

History has an important role to play in developing our pupils’ understanding of the world they live in. It helps us answer those important questions; Why are we here? How did women gain the vote? How was Hitler able to carry out such crimes against humanity?

At Thornhill Academy, pupils are given the opportunity to learn about and appreciate how past events have shaped the present, with emphasis upon the development of the United Kingdom. Pupils are given opportunities to develop their skills through independent learning, teamwork, presentations, and research. At Thornhill Academy, history is brought to life, we provide pupils the opportunity to link historical events with local history, students are able to experience history through school trips, such as to Normandy and Poland, whilst also having the opportunity to speak to experts and analysing historical artefacts.
