On 21st November, the History department was delighted to host visiting academic, Dr Sarah Longair, from Lincoln University. Dr Longair presented a specialised lecture and seminar session for our Y12 Historians, on the impact of Empire on 19th century British perceptions and culture, supporting our students on core content from our A Level course. The event, giving our students access to cutting-edge academic research, was also attended by selected Y11 students who are already showing great promise to succeed at A Level! The hugely popular event was enjoyed by all, and we look forward to hosting future events with the university.
