History

Course summary

History remains one of the most respected, valued, flexible, useful, and inspiring A level subjects available. It’s about people and understanding how and why they acted in the past. History is a subject which develops a critical attitude towards evidence and problems by constantly asking the key question ‘why?’. It also emphasises communication: lessons will give you confidence to discuss, make presentations, read constructively and extract information and ideas. You will present your knowledge and ideas in writing (short and extended) and through other media. Lessons will be varied!
