“Those who do not remember the past
                            are condemned to repeat it.”
 

The study of History at Glen Urquhart High School aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the modern world and in the people and events that have helped shape that world. Through a wide range of courses students will develop important skills.

These include:

• The ability to show understanding of the importance of events, developments, actions and attitudes
