History

Learning in History

The History department at The Portsmouth Academy aspires to encourage a passion for the past amongst our pupils using dynamic and inspirational teaching, underpinned by the Thinking Schools philosophy.

Department Team: 

  • Curriculum Lead - Mrs E Williams
  • Miss Bodkin
  • Miss Kendall
  • Miss Jackson

Our aim is to develop independent learners with enquiring minds, capable of analysing and evaluating evidence to form reasoned interpretations of historical events. Ultimately, pupils will achieve a greater understanding of the world in which we live and their place within it.
