The core intent of History at The Cheadle Academy is to underpin the world around us and our position within it. Through studying history students understand how events in the past have helped to shape our local, national and international identity. Furthermore, History helps students to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time. History is relevant today because it develops a student’s ability to understand the causes and consequences of current political, economic and social events as they develop, ensuring they have the ability to engage with people of all ages in having balanced discussions. Finally, History inspires curiosity to know more about the past, and students recognise the importance of developing the skills associated with history as well as the relevance of the topics we study and how they fit into the world we live in today.

We aim to expand the students’ horizons through not only teaching about geographical and historical changes but also encouraging students to visit new places. In year 9 and 10 we organise a visit to the First World War Battlefields in Belgium and France. We have also previously offered a visit to Poland at this stage. Closer to home, we visit RAF Cosford in Year 8 and The Thackeray Medical Museum in Year 11. These visits allow students to further their knowledge of the world in which we live but also their own place within it.
