Ditcham Park School History Department

History at Ditcham Park is taught by one full - time subject specialist.  The department is very well equipped and resourced.

History teaching is ‘key question’, ‘problem solving’ based and attempts to enable students to construct their own ideas and begin to understand how different interpretations of the past are constructed.

Aims:

1. To make history a challenging and interesting subject at Ditcham Park School

2. To enable students to learn the ideas and content of the periods being studied to the best of their abilities

3. To enable students to understand that people in the past had different ideas, values and motives from people in the present.
4. To fit into and contribute to the whole school curriculum.

Objectives:

1. To enable students to see the constructed nature of History and its distinction from the past.

2. To encourage good academic techniques at all levels.
3. To ensure that students are able to handle, use and evaluate historical evidence.
4. To introduce students to the methodology of historians, their language and question formulating
