History

Course summary

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.
