THE CHRONICLE
History and Art History
From the heroes of Art History to the Secret History of Cities!
At Orton Academy, we do History a little differently. Of course, we cover popular topics and the broad range of A Level History tuition, but we also do a lot of Ancient history here, as well as the history of the Himalayas. We try to look at History through unusual lenses: the history of martial arts, the secret history of cities and the history of mathematics to name just a few!
For university and A Level students, we offer ad hoc or regular tutorials to support your studies. We also work with independent learners who are eager to discover more, as well as independent researchers who are starting their own History project, making a documentary or writing a book. Contact us to find out more!
In the meantime, take a look around this section for inspiration!

For armchair travellers, enjoy these articles about our favourite cities! You might also want to look into our adult interest course, the Secret History of Cities, to discover the history, geography, folklore and ecology of the world’s most fascinating cities.
Art History
Read about the history of Ingres’ most compelling portrait or how the drawings of an Enlightenment entomologist challenged the thinking of her time in our art history series. Whether you are a fan of art heist stories or a budding art historian, this section has something for you!
