What will I learn?
The thematic study for Y7 is a comparison of empires; between the ancient Roman, medieval Islamic and the more modern British Empires. Pupils will identify similarities and differences in the rises and falls of all 3, querying the motivations of each in turn.
For Y8 we have 2 major depth studies; Britain’s role in the slave trade, analysing black Britons in Georgian England and the first major global conflict WW1. We also have a thematic study of the Industrial Revolution, its Impact on Sheffield's growth and major events that impacted the city within this time period.
