History

Assessment

The breadth study and the depth study will each be examined by an examination of 2 hours 30 minutes both involving a compulsory question linked to historical interpretations and sources and two further essays from a choice of three. This is done at the end of Year 13. Each paper is worth 40% of the A Level. There will also be a third component: A Personal Study based on a topic of the student’s choice. This will take the form of a question in the context of approximately 100 years. Students will not be allowed however to base it on either Britain or Germany in the periods studied in the Breadth and Depth studies. This makes up 20% of the A Level and will be undertaken during Year 13
