Going back in ‘Maritime’
A Major part of our study in A Level History at Barnhill is with the course "The British Empire 1857-1965" where we make an introspective and detailed exploration of the Empire that has come to define our very lives in a myriad of clear and unclear ways and of which it's effect can be seen even today. What built this empire, unlike others before it, was it's mastery of the high seas from the 1700s to the very end of the second world war which gives us the saying "Britannia rules the waves".
