History

Course summary

History is a very well-respected academic qualification which develops the powers of enquiry and argument. It allows students to analyse the events and people of the past, thereby developing their understanding of the world we live in today. A Level History students examine key political, social and economic developments in Germany from 1870 - 1991, as well as early modern British history, through considering religious change under the Tudors. Students also complete an NEA, which is based on one hundred years of Russian history, from the Tsarist period to the middle of the Soviet era. Other than the NEA, all of the units are examined in the summer of Year 13.
