The aims of history at Grange Park are that pupils should enjoy the subject, get satisfaction from the work that they produce and gain a basic understanding of the history of the United Kingdom and its' place in Europe and the wider world.

In Years 7, 8 and 9, history is taught as discrete subject.  In Years 10 and 11, it is taught as an optional subject. In all years, class work is reinforced with field trips and practical activities.

Pupils in Years 10 and 11 work towards GCSE History.
