History at Blundell's

Aim of the History Department

The aim of the History Department at Blundell’s School is to provide students with a wide and deep historical knowledge, accompanied by a strong focus on historical skills. We encourage students to obtain a ‘feel’ for History and research major topics by using primary and secondary sources, the Internet and CD-ROMs.
