Course summary

The diverse and rich History curriculum at The Petchey Academy allows for A-level students to build on the skills and knowledge learnt at GCSE. These skills include the ability to understand different identities within society, to improve as effective and independent learners and to become critical and reflective thinkers. The course allows students to develop their understanding of historical concepts and skills, and to communicate their historical knowledge through arguing a case and reaching substantiated judgements. GCSE History provides students with a significant number of transferable skills which can be applied not only within further education but to a range of different career paths.
