History
The History department at Oaklands has a young and vibrant staff. We fully recognise the need for active learning within the curriculum and cater for the varying learning styles of the individual. Our excellent examination results at both GCSE (78% Pass rate) and A level (100% pass rate) have enabled the department to embrace the integration of ICT into the curriculum. The department is staffed by fully qualified History teachers with varying specialisms that complement and enrich the national curriculum.
