Our A-Level History course centers on two exciting units that have been carefully selected to combine together an array of different themes, including domestic problems, foreign policy relations, and economic developments. In two ostensibly different epochs, we analyze similar themes concerning the leadership of influential figures, evaluating their successes and failures to gain a holistic understanding of important historical concepts, such as change and continuity, significance, and cause and consequence. In studying both components, you will learn to work with primary evidence and form coherent and persuasive arguments. In Year 13 you will undertake a personal investigation which will also develop your research skills.
The standard entry criteria to study in the sixth form are a 9-4 in at least seven different subjects, including English and mathematics, which would usually be at grade 4 or above. To study other subjects already taken at GCSE you must achieve at least a grade 5 or above in that subject.
AO1 Demonstrate, organize, and communicate knowledge and understanding to analyze and evaluate the key features related to the periods studied, making substantiated judgments and exploring concepts, as relevant, of cause, consequence, change, continuity, similarity, difference, and significance. AO2 Analyse and evaluate appropriate source material, primary and/or contemporary to the period, within its historical context. AO3 Analyse and evaluate, in relation to the historical context, different ways in which aspects of the past have been interpreted.
