We have several exciting opportunities for your son / daughter to further develop their historical knowledge and exam skills further during this year (2018/19). We appreciate that this is a vital year and we believe that these opportunities will enhance Year 11 students understanding of the course they are studying.
Below is a list of the opportunities that we are able to offer. Please be aware that these are voluntary, not compulsory as many carry additional costs.
