Course summary

The History A Level consists of three papers and an independently written piece of coursework, the NEA (Non-Exam Assessment). The three papers you will study are: 1. Modern Britain, 1931 – 1997 (including an in-depth study of Winston Churchill) 2. The Crusades and the Crusader States, 1095 – 1191 3. The Changing Nature of Warfare, 1789 – 1945 Your coursework can be about any historical issue that you are interested in! Recent students have focused on the Crusades, World War Two, and the Cold War, but the choice is yours. Our choice of papers and topics is based on teacher specialism and student feedback over many years; we know that our students enjoy studying Level History at Mosslands. History is about people, their ambitions, actions, and responses to events. It is relevant to our lives as it has shaped the world we live in today. It is useful because it develops a range of analytical and communication skills that complement a wide range of other subject choices from English, MFL, and Social Sciences. Top universities, in all subject areas, prefer students who have undergone the academic training provided by A-Level History.
