Year 9 Information

During Year 9 students follow up their local history study from last year by looking at Britain 1750 - 1900. They also look at Twentieth Century World. There are an increased number of assessments completed in Year 9 to inform teachers making decisions about end of Key Stage Levels and to help students to see how well they are doing if they are considering taking History as an option.
