Welcome to Philips High School's History Department Blog
This is the blog of the history department at Philips High School.
Our aim is to encourage students to find out more about the past and to achieve success at GCSE level.
We want students to enjoy finding out about their past and so will make a lot of modern technology through the use of the Internet, Podcasting, blogging and interactive materials.
Students will be given opportunities to work with artefacts and other sources of evidence, go to sites of historical importance, join in with additional history clubs, take part in competitions and to be proud of their achievements in developing the skills needed to be a successful historian.

In year 7 students develop the skills of the historian, the development of the Roman Empire and Britain in medieval times.
In year 8 we look at how Britain developed under the Tudor and Stuart monarchs, before investigating the theme of crime through the ages.
In year 9 we look at the 21st century world and how it is shaped by the events, people and places of the 20th century, focussing on the First World War and Home Front in the Second World War.
At GCSE students follow the Edexcel Modern World History course, a modular programme that will cover Germany 1918-45, the Vietnam War, International Relations 1900-1939 and Britain 1905-1923.

This game is great!
