At the Knights Templar School, we aim to enhance students’ interest and enthusiasm for the past. We provide opportunities to explore significant events, people and issues, and encourage students to acquire a deep knowledge and understanding of History. We enable students to foster and develop a wide range of skills which are transferable to a range of careers. These include the ability to communicate their knowledge and opinions effectively, and the ability to debate; presenting clear, concise, logical ideas and arguments which they are able to confidently support. Students will also further develop their skills of interpretation as well as the ability to evaluate usefulness and reliability when working with evidence.
