At Cambridge Lower School, we believe that every student must possess a thorough, well-informed, and precise knowledge of the past. Our history curriculum is independent, well-rounded, and balanced. Students develop a natural curiosity and fascination for history, especially major world events. They also build connections between past events and contemporary happenings. This insight enables them to make sense of the world they live in and understand how it has altered over the centuries, and continues to alter presently.

Our MA/PhD qualified subject specialist teachers aim to deepen each student’s chronological knowledge, helping them understand British, local, and global history in a more nuanced manner. Our students reap the benefits of wider learning as they get a chance to explore different historical timelines and contexts. We use an individualised teaching approach to ensure that each student learns how to apply new historical knowledge appropriately.

Our teachers provide one-on-one attention to each student, which significantly fuels their interest in history. As students pursue the subject at the IGCSE or A Level junction, they already have the secure foundation that’s needed to secure top grades. As a result, they progress exceptionally well and build a balanced, comprehensive set of historical concepts, skills, and knowledge on top. We also equip each student with access to past lessons and historical resources. Our online library is up and running at all times, ready to be explored.
