Altrincham Grammar School for Girls

History Introduction

The History Department is a thriving Department as the subject continues to be a popular option at both G.C.S.E. and at AS/A2. The aims of the History Department are to build upon the enthusiasm of pupils for the subject, to broaden the students’ knowledge and understanding of the past and to develop their skills of analysis and interpretation.  We aim above all to encourage independent learning and personal intellectual development.

All members of the Department are well qualified History graduates who are full of enthusiasm for the subject and are proud of their ability to make the past come alive for our students.
