History Award

The History Department was delighted to attend the Historical Association Medlicott Lecture by Prof. Catherine Hall on 10 July in London. During this evening, they received their award for achieving a Gold Quality Mark in History, in recognition of outstanding subject provision at Tormead. The Historical Association is the main national body for History teaching in the UK and Tormead was awarded the top level by the HA in all five areas of assessment. The final report noted that lessons were ‘innovative and exemplary’, and that ‘Tormead students are …confident girls and young women who are learning to evaluate the past with evidence and construct ideas and interpretations with the help of their teachers and the works of scholars’.
