We offer two History courses, both OCR. • 16th Century History: focusing on the Early Tudors, the German Reformation and the rule of Charles V, the golden years of Spain and the witch craze of the 16th and 17th centuries • 20th Century History: also focusing on the Early Tudors*, the Cold War, civil rights in the USA and China under Mao and Deng *The current A-level guidelines require students to cover topics from at least 200 years. The two courses differ in content but not skills, and universities make no distinction between them. Each will satisfy your interest in the past and give you valuable transferable skills including the ability to argue effectively, to analyse events and issues and to reach a substantiated judgement. The department recognises the value of overseas trips to extend understanding and arranges these as appropriate. Recent sixth-form trips have included Istanbul, Washington and New York, Moscow and St Petersburg and we have just been to Budapest, Vienna and Prague in the autumn term. Our next trip is likely to be to New York and Washington in October 2023.
