History Teaching at
Winchester
House
History should be enjoyable. The aim of our History syllabus and of our History lessons is to engender enthusiasm and to inspire our pupils to take an interest in History both here at Winchester House and throughout their lives.
Our History teaching throughout the school encourages an enjoyment in the sense of the story as well as success in the application of vital historical skills such as evaluation of evidence and analytical and narrative extended writing. Children have access to a variety of teaching methods including ICT-based approaches and audio-visual learning. As well as the school library, the History room in the
Upper
School
is also stocked with a fine supply of History books which the children are encouraged to use. Furthermore, we see the value in historical trips and outings and we aim to give children opportunities to take part in these as they progress through the school.
