At QE, we firmly believe that we study the past in order to understand the present. This means we want to understand the issues that are currently affecting our ever-changing geo-political world – such as racism, sexism, nationalism, politics, and terrorism – by diving in and exploring the past. We want our students to understand that History impacts all of us, and in turn we can impact History ourselves. By exploring this, and key societal issues through the past centuries, we hope our students will learn, understand, and respect the positive impact they can each make on History, both their own personal History and the world around them.

By exploring and analysing the stories of the past, we can learn from them and to grow as a society to ensure issues that have plagued the world are truly eradicated to create a more equal and just society, but also a respectful and positive school environment.
