Creativity in History

Creativity is a central part of learning encompassing both activity and thought. An excellent example of this came from a visit I paid to the History department. Engaging Year 7 in the theme of ‘ communities’ students were focused on Medieval communities, in particular that of the Norman Conquest. Engaging students in creative activities increases their confidence in learning knowledge alongside the development of lifelong skills such as problem solving. As a result this year 7 class was, through creativity being given the skills and innovative thinking yo deal with the complexities that arise in later life. While History like many other subjects can become assessment-led the faculty has worked hard to invite students throughout the course to engage imaginatively with the subject knowledge and in turn to build inclusivity through providing all learners with the flexibility to challenge themselves in an evaluative capacity.
