Modern History is a diverse, challenging and absorbing journey through the 19th and 20th centuries. It requires logical thinking, a passion for problem-solving, and a capacity to work: to research, summarise and write essays expressing clear points of view.

Homework
Homework is a means of consolidation, extension or enrichment of the work that is studied in Modern History lessons. Homework is set regularly and is a compulsory part of a student's workload. Homework is followed up regularly, and students found to be neglecting to complete their homework will have a note sent home (N-award warning letter), informing their parents/carers of the situation, and encouraging completion of the work in question.
