Welcome to the History Department

Kenilworth School and Sports College offers an exciting and varied History Curriculum across the age ranges developing skills of analysis, interpretation and explanation. At Key Stage 3 we offer topics as diverse as the Romans, Medieval and Tudor England, the Industrial Revolution and the 20th Century.

GCSE History has a very large uptake in numbers of pupils, following a modern History path studying topics including The Cold War, The Depression in the 1930s and the Women’s Suffrage Movement in the early 20th century (the Suffragettes).

A Level History is one of Castle Sixth Form’s most popular subjects, offering two different A Levels: Early Modern History (Europe and England in the 15th and 16th centuries) or a Modern World Course (focusing on Britain, Russia and Germany in the last 100 years).

From Years 7 – 13 History is an incredibly popular subject, offering cross curricular skills, developing an understanding of the wider world and showing us how we got to where we are now.
