Studying history at A Level is split into 3 main parts. The first sees our students complete a module about The Tudors, 1485–1603. This option allows students to study in breadth issues of change, continuity, cause and consequence in this period. The second module is a depth study on Democracy and Nazism: Germany, 1918–1945. This module provides for the study in depth of a period of German history during which a newly developed democratic form of government gave way to a dictatorial Nazi regime. It explores political concepts such as 'right' and 'left', nationalism and liberalism as well as ideological concepts such as racialism, anti-Semitism and Social Darwinism. It also encourages reflection on how governments work and the problems of democratic states as well as consideration of what creates and sustains a dictatorship. The final part of A Level history is the NEA, which sees our students complete a long form essay on a question of their choosing.
- General entry requirements into Year 12 are 5 grade 4s (or equivalent), plus at least grade 4 in English Language or Literature. - 4 in relevant subject if taken
