You will study a broad range of historical issues and controversies from the 19th and 20th centuries to enable you to develop a critical and comparative understanding of themes in world and European history, including authoritarian states and the development and fall of Communism. Higher Level students also specialise in 18th to 20th century European history, exploring revolutions and the rise of the nation-state, studying revolutionary France and Imperial, Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia. Through case studies, you’ll get to grips with concepts such as causation, continuity and change over time, and explore varied historical perspectives. For the IA you will investigate a historical question of your own choice, equipping you with essential research skills and preparing you for study beyond college. Recent topics have included: Causes of Tiananmen Square protests in China, the influence of King James 1st's Daemonologie on the Witch Craze in Early Modern England, Eva Peron's influence on the status of women in Argentina.
A mixture of at least 7 GCSEs at Grades 9 - 6 including English, Maths and Science.
All subjects have some form of coursework or internal assessment component and most have final examinations. The weightings of the coursework vary between subject and level so please refer to the subject guides in this booklet for specifics, however students have a significant amount of freedom over topics, questions and research. Some of the coursework is assessed via 121 oral or presentation work. All final external written exams take place in May of year two and the results are published in July (6 weeks before the A-level results!). We also hold internal exams in May of year one and January of year two.
