We aim to create successful historians who believe in the importance of learning from human experiences. Historians at Albany Academy can engage with key issues such as conflict, understand what drives change and how the past influences the present giving them new insights into the world around them.

History is taught for 4 hours per fortnight in Year 7 and 3 hours per fortnight in Years 8 and 9.

It is a GCSE option available to all students at KS4.

We study the AQA GCSE.

Our history curriculum plan gives an overview of topics taught from years 7 to 11.
