History
History is a very popular subject at Lady Margaret School, with a large uptake for GCSE and A level. Each year, several pupils go on to read History degrees at university, including at Oxbridge. As well as its intrinsic interest, History encourages pupils to develop analytical skills as well as the ability to structure and present their ideas in an effective manner. Employers and universities are impressed with history qualifications, too – pupils have been trained to think carefully, to support what pupils say with evidence and to working independently. History is fascinating and it also helps pupils to understand the world we live in today, as well as to understand pupil’s heritage and identity.
