History in Ffynone House School Swansea

History at Ffynone House - Life in the Past Lane !

History - the subject that considers the past yet shapes the present and future.

The History department aims to make you feel as passionate about our subject as we do. Whether you're curious about the Conqueror, tantalised by the Tudors or fascinated by Franz Ferdinand (the Archduke, not the band) we'll find ways to channel your interest and make the past come to life...

We hope you'll want to follow many past pupils and choose to study History at GCSE level in Years Ten and Eleven. From the rise and fall of the Nazis, to America in the Jazz Age, we use written accounts, photographs, oral testimony, film and the Internet to study in depth what shaped the world after the Great War. British History is not neglected as we study the whole of the Twentieth Century from 1900 - 2000. In other words, your lifespan is in the History syllabus! Who said History is only about the distant past?
