The Reading Party week around London in the summer takes in a range of discussion-worthy venues.
Lunchtime classes In addition to the regular Middle School History Club slot, lunchtimes also provide a good opportunity for boys to attend specialist lessons that are put on by staff outside the regular teaching timetable. These specialist lessons tend to take place during the Michaelmas term, with the Oxbridge lessons aiming to prepare candidates for their interviews and aptitude tests, whilst AS resit classes are a valuable opportunity for boys to revise key concepts before the summer examinations.
The Archives The History department makes extensive use of the College Archives. All Year 9 boys take part in a project in which they each research the life of an OA who served in the First World War. Boys in the Lower School have the opportunity to handle books which are up to 700 years old, recording events in the Middle Ages. Recently, an exhibition about the Great Plague in Dulwich gave boys in Year 8 a fascinating insight into their study of Stuart England, giving the 1665 catastrophe real meaning.
