This is a Great new way to test your revision! We have began to put the whole GCSE History course in Quiz form. This means you can look over and revise the different topics and you can then test out how much you have learnt through taking one of the quizzes. Even if you get a few wrong - a few practices will help to sort that out and consolidate knowledge.  This section is Flash based at the moment so it may not work with some devices. Give it a few seconds to load up.

The Year 14 class spent a great day in Dublin as part of their Partition of Ireland A2 course. 


They completed a walking tour of the city, going round the major sites from 1916. 


These included the Royal College of Surgeons, GPO, Liberty Hall, Collins Barracks, Moore Street, the Asgard and Bolands Mill. 


The guided tour was superb and covered the full range of key events from the turbulent start of the 20th century.
