Key Stage 4

At Key Stage 4 we offer AQA GCSE History. We have broken this up into four sections:

1. Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship
2. Conflict and Tension, 1918-1939
3. Britain: Health and the People: c1000 to present day
4. Norman England, c1066-c1100

These modules cover both the overview studies and depth studies that a History curriculum requires.
