You will have the opportunity to express your understanding, not just through essays, but by analysing and evaluating evidence, developing and strengthening their judgements and through participating in discussion and debate.

You will explore the nature of British warfare from 1790-1918, which covers not only a broad study of military history, but also technological and social developments. In the coursework unit you will study the Vietnam War.
At least five GCSE grades 9-6, including at least a grade 6 in either history or English.
Two 2 hour and 15 minute exams, worth 30% each, and one 1 hour and 30 minute paper, worth 20%. Coursework is worth 20%.
