“I believe that the more you know about the past, the better you are prepared for the future” – Theodore Roosevelt

History teaches all of us about who we are and what our future might look like. Any student of history is a historian; we identify, we debate, we opine, we argue, and we explain. History is a story that engages and questions the very nature of who we are.

The study of history at Trinity Church of England High School encourages our students to be curious and to think about our own attitudes, values and choices. The chronological approach builds an understanding of change and continuity over a progression of time and at the heart of our curriculum is a focus on the academic writings of the historian. We learn about History through the research and writings of others, and formulate substantiated judgements based around what we interrogate.

In the heart of a diverse city, we endeavour to reflect not only Manchester’s history, but also that of some of the global communities and people that made us.
