Introduction. History is very popular at Slough and Eton. Teaching styles are varied, using active learning, role-play writing frames, discussion, group and individual work. Film evidence is used extensively and source analysis skills are developed to a very high level.

History can lead to jobs in the services, banking and finance, law and business. History enables students to present factual information in a logical format and to analyse written text intelligently. Employers prize these skills.
