A Level in History

Course summary

At A Level we follow the AQA History specification. In our study of the English Revolution students are given the chance to explore one of the most exciting and influential moments in English History. They engage with important historical concepts such as Revolution and evaluate the successes and failures of the radical ideas which emerged in this period. The Russia option provides an interesting contrast and an opportunity to look at the development of a country over a long period of time. In addition to their examined unit pupils are asked to undertake an independent investigation into the relationship between Ireland and Britain over an extended period. We are confident that students are provided with a rigorous and intellectually challenging experience and that they are well-prepared to undertake undergraduate study.
