History

Course summary

The A Level History course has been designed to help students understand the significance of historical events, the roles of individuals in history and the nature of change over time. Students will be examining over 200 years of both British and European history through a breadth and depth study. There has never been a better time to study history – the past is alive, dynamic, controversial and hugely relevant. History is constantly being written and rewritten, contested and reinterpreted. History is more than simply looking backwards and studying the past – it is also about critically engaging with the present and future. In today’s climate, it is more important than ever to learn from the mistakes of the past. Through a combination of taught lessons, practical projects, exams and assignments.
