Year 8
Year 8 students begin the year with an overview of migration to Britain over time, from the Celts and the Saxons to post-WW2 movements of people. They will also investigate key periods of change in British history, such as the impact of the industrial revolution on the Wirral and how people fought for the vote in the 1800s. These enquiries are designed to develop the substantive and disciplinary knowledge that were developed in year 7.
