Year 10 History
Year 10 History is a study of the
modern history of Ireland. Pupils will
learn the origins and beliefs of
Nationalists and Unionists and how
these two belief systems came into
conflict in the early 20th Century.
A substantial part of the year will
involve a focused study on World
War One. Every pupil will complete a
piece of project coursework that will
constitute 20% of their June exam.
