History

Course summary

Apart from being extremely enjoyable and enabling students to learn about the past, A’ level History enables a far better understanding of the present. The studies we provide motivate and challenge pupils to understand catalysts for change in a global context, and opportunity to branch away from solely British histories and narratives. You will be encouraged to consider interpretations of the past and how we challenge and use these productively, and you will build on analytical skills and topics studied at KS3 and KS4. History offers students the opportunity to acquire and improve on many of the key skills which have been identified as a priority for higher education.
