Welcome to
History

Welcome to History at St Helen’s! As a department we know that you’ll have fun studying the wide range of topics we have on offer; many which you won’t have covered before. In everything we do, we hope to challenge your perspective, opening your eyes to the different voices which make up our sense of the past.
