Course content

Teaching is an extremely rewarding and challenging career. Our course is designed to provide you with the knowledge, understanding and skills that you need to be an outstanding teacher. We aim to nurture teachers who are passionate about the development of their own and their pupils' learning.

The course is intended to produce Secondary History teachers who are reflective practitioners and who will be:

  • enthusiastic and confident in the classroom
  • pedagogically skilful and adaptable
  • specialists in the teaching of history
  • aware of how young people learn history
  • able to see their subject in the context of the whole curriculum
  • competent in a number of areas that cross Secondary school curriculum boundaries and see History in the wider context, contributing  to pupils' personal, social, moral, spiritual and cultural development
  • able to work as part of a team.

The course is designed to ensure you are confident in all basic national curriculum requirements. If you have any questions about the course, please contact the Subject Leader, who you will find under the Staff section of this course page.
