I like to study history because it's interesting to learn about the past and how society has changed over the years. I also love that every lesson is different and that you are constantly learning new facts in each task you do. The creative tasks are also great, and I love that there is always a chance to work with your friends or in groups and share your ideas.

I like history because it is something I’m interested about. I find it fun and interactive, with many interesting lessons, questions and ideas. An example of why I like it as a subject is studying World War 1 as it covers how England reached toward victory and how England has developed as a country.

Our vision for our curriculum can be summed up as follows:  Christ the King aims to provide an accessible and academic History which gives students a strong sense of their place in time, by learning from the past. At Christ the King the History department aims to provide and deliver a high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.  Christ the king History department believes that History should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching at Christ the King should enable pupils to be equipped to ask insightful questions, think critically, evaluate evidence, scrutinize arguments, and develop a sense of perspective, leading to an overall judgement. At Christ the King we believe passionately that History helps pupils to understand the intricacies of people’s lives, the process of change, the multifaceted nature of diverse societies and relationships between different groups,  leading ultimately to understanding  their own identity and the challenges  that  today’s modern society  brings to them.

I  love teaching all year groups and have numerous favourite topics, the First World War being one. However, my favourite year 7 topic has to be the mystery of the princes in the tower and how they simply disappeared.

I've been at Christ the King for many years, I enjoy teaching Year 7 about Castles and Castle construction, and about what life was like for ordinary people during Medieval times. My other interests include European History, especially the history of Germany and Russia.

Mrs Panah. Teacher of History.

I've always had a love of History and being a teacher and telling stories about the past is brilliant. My favourite topics are the Industrial Revolution and the Slave Trade. In Year 7 my favourite topic to teach is Medieval Crime and Punishment as it is so interesting to learn about all the weird and peculiar ways people behaved hundred of years and how those in charge dealt with it.

Mr Fairclough. Teacher of History.
I studied History at Liverpool John Moore's University. I have a real passion for all history, but I especially enjoy modern history, such as WW2 and the Cold War. I love teaching year 7s about the Peasants' Revolt and the Black Death, so they can learn about how events such as these had a major impact on the lives of different people in England.
