History A Level encourages you to understand and think intelligently about aspects of modern history. It involves much more than just learning vast amounts of factual information. Of course, there is a lot to learn and you will immediately notice in how much greater detail a topic is covered than at GCSE level. However, what students find most rewarding in History is the attempt to understand, evaluate and analyse the past. Questions at A Level will never just ask you to recount what happened. They are designed to make you think critically about the material and to formulate your own assessments. You will, for example, learn to make judgements about the policies of individual leaders and nations, or to analyse the causes of a particular event and evaluate the importance of different factors.
Our normal minimum requirements for entry into the Sixth Form are at least five GCSEs at Grade 6 and above, with Grade 7 in those subjects wished to be studied at A Level. An interview with a member of the Senior Leadership Team would normally form part of the selection process.
