Our English and History faculty is central to study at Bradfield. English connects to all other disciplines and helps develop language, communication, conceptual and analytical skills.
Our teachers understand the importance of engaging with texts such as film, poetry, novels, websites and drama to provide students with a strong cultural capital which enhance personal growth, vocation, and social interaction. They establish a love of creative and analytical expression across a variety of genres and media.
The English & History faculty has strong connections across the college as we work on multi-disciplinary projects to provide deep and enriched learning.
Our English and History teachers bring text to life.
They work hard to make it possible for you to gain a deep understanding of these foundation subjects and to make them both relevant and relatable.
Truly passionate about what they teach and how you learn; studying English and History at Bradfield will make these subjects come alive for you.

In History we study people who were as real as we are; they had the same hopes, dreams and failings.
