Just as a reminder for parents - especially in Y8 or Y11 who want to support their child's preparations for History at the next key stage - we follow Edexcel for both GCSE and A-level.

British tea drinking really did power the Industrial Revolution, by vastly increasing the health of the nation. This study shows that the practice of boiling water for tea lowered mortality rates by an amazing 25% in lower water-quality areas! https://t.co/QIgfiaLjSB

@sherburnhigh @DofE Congratulations everyone! A great achievement.

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

@sinobabble It was our pleasure!

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

We're delighted that @sinobabble is speaking to our Year 12 historians (remotely) this afternoon on issues in Contemporary China - Xinjiang, Tibet and more! Specifically, how do the history of those places affect the present situation?

[Sherburn High School Sixth Form @SHS_SixthForm]

@SHSHist next and our prospective Year 12s were exploring the causes of the First World War. Omar made some excellent points here to Ms. Slingsby's delight! Well done!

Remembrance Day - Lest We Forget.

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

Great open evening tonight - fantastic to see our prospective Year 7 students and parents/carers in the building. There was a great buzz and lots of enthusiastic new historians ready to start with us @sherburnhigh.

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

When asked what topic every student should definitely learn about in History - one Year 7 student made a very passionate case for the Industrial Revolution. You love to see it.

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

Cue Mr Shanks frantically rewriting the last lesson of Year 7’s Migration through Time history unit to take account of @EmmaRaducanu brilliant victory in the #USOpen - Marvellous!

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

@SherburnEnglish nice bit of context here for Henry V

[International John Bunyan Society @BunyanSociety]

'Troy-Novant' (1648) argued that the #godly closed the theatres during the #BritishCivilWar because they feared citizens would be inspired by the #Royalism & fighting spirit in #Shakespeare's Henry V:

"not longer by your Arts detains us
We rise up all as Crispin & Crispianus"

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

Congratulations to our fabulous A-level Historians on their fantastic results yesterday.

Good luck to our GCSE History students in advance of tomorrow!

[SHS History Dept @SHSHist]

Incredible, and heartbreaking image to show the continuing relevance of our American West unit at GCSE.
