History is one of our most popular GCSE subjects at King Ethelbert which covers a variety of fascinating topics ranging from the medieval, renaissance and 20th century time periods covering extraordinary events which have shaped the world we live in.
Most of the topics which are studied at GCSE are covered in some way in the curriculum at key stage 3 and so although there is a lot to learn you will have been provided a good basis for this knowledge in year 7, 8 and 9 so if you have enjoyed history thus far we are confident you will continue to do so.
