Welcome to the History Department
"The Person who does not understand history, remains always a child"
Marcus Tullius Cicero-Roman Senator & Philosopher
Without an understanding of the past, it is impossible to fully understand the present. The study of History at WGS introduces pupils to the most important political, cultural and technological developments of the last 2000 years.
As well as providing a solid grounding of narrative, the department encourages pupils to take an analytical and evaluative approach to issues of causation, change and the reliability of evidence.
Boys are given plenty of opportunity to develop their skills in ICT, especially through the project work, which is an integral part of the curriculum.
The study of History is designed to develop three things. Knowledge and understanding of the past, understanding of historical interpretation and the ability to handle source material.
The study of History will also contribute to the delivery of education in Citizenship.
