Course summary

The aim of the Advanced Level course is not only to produce historians who possess sound factual knowledge of their A-Level period but also people who can write and think with impartiality, precision and imagination. To be able to cope with A-Level students must be able to read independently and to write fluently. We often support the A-Level courses with trips. There may be an opportunity to visit St Petersburg Moscow or Berlin to accompany the study of History. The great advantage of studying a discursive subject such as History at More House is that the informal setting of small groups gives everyone a chance to express and develop their views and to share their learning problems. The division of the syllabus between two teachers who can teach their area of expertise is a further advantage.

Entry requirements

● five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above; ● at least a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths; ● at least a Grade 6 in the subject you wish to study.

How you'll be assessed

The A-Level History course consists of three components. The theme is the role of the individual in history and there is a wide range of British and European topics. The modules are graduated in difficulty with a "synoptic" coursework module at the end covering the full range of skills from previous modules. The method of examination is wide-ranging from document and source material to more extended writing and, finally, the traditional essay. With this in mind, the following courses are a guideline as we intend to keep as much continuity as possible.
