It is difficult to avoid the impact of History in our modern world. We are living with the consequences of past events every day. A good historical education is essential to understand the world. History lessons are taught using a wide range of active learning approaches including personal enquiry, group activities and fieldwork, as well as formal classroom based activities. We also include a trip to Berlin to study the Cold War and origins of the Holocaust at the end of Y12. Historians develop enquiry, decision-making and research skills, which will prepare them well for higher education courses or a wide range of career choices, such as the legal profession, journalism and the media, research, the police, teaching, advertising and marketing. History A Level is recognised as a facilitating A Level by most universities including the Russell Group. Equally, employers and universities know that students of History have a huge amount of transferable skills. The research, analytical and presentational skills you learn in History, to be able to interrogate and challenge different arguments whilst substantiating your own, are precisely the skills you need to operate in the world of work.
