‘A’Level History
Our History Department strives to make history as exciting and dynamic as possible. All pupils study history in a stimulating and interesting environment and they are given the chance to make History come to life by regular outside visits e.g. Day trips to The Somme Centre: The Ulster American Folk Park; The Ulster Transport Museum: The Tower Museum and through educational stays e.g. Krakow, Poland and Ypres, Belgium.
Key stage 3
The Department ensures that Key Stage 3 pupils study a wide range of historical periods for example a detailed study of medieval life; a case study on the Native American Indians; a broad study of the period 1500 -1700 including the Spanish Armada, the English Civil War and the Williamite wars. Older pupils in this age range get to carry out an in depth study of The First World War, and ICT orientated study of the Holocaust and a broader look at Ireland from1800 -1925.

The Cold War 1945 – 1991

Key Stage 5 – ‘A’ level
