We are thrilled to announce that in May 2024, the History Department was awarded a Gold Historical Association Quality Mark.
The Historical Association Quality Mark is an award that recognises the excellence of history provision in a school. The Quality Mark assesses and values the history provision of the teacher, the department and the school and what is being offered to young people.

 

The assessor reported that History provision at Castle Mead is ‘innovative, forward thinking and engaging for all stakeholders. It was a pleasure to visit the school and witness the wonderful History learning taking place in the lessons. All staff, scholars and parents/carers should be incredibly proud of the work they are doing with History’.

 

This is a prestigious award, which recognises the hard work the History department have put into building a curriculum that represents our scholars. We are incredibly proud to be the only school in Leicester that holds this Gold standard award and will use it to continue and develop the work we do.
