History at Brampton College is a flourishing department, popular with students at both GCSE and A Level. It can be combined with any other subject but is most often studied alongside English, Politics, Sociology, Economics, Psychology and Languages. Studying history requires good reading writing and critical thinking skills, so there is a strong emphasis in our small teaching groups at Brampton on developing these skills as much as possible. History is a widely respected subject at the A level, which opens the doors to many university courses such as Law, Journalism, International Relations and War Studies, as well as courses involving history itself. History attracts students from a wide range of backgrounds and previous experience, and we put a great store on open student discussion and students’ listening to each other’s points of view. The many concepts covered in the study of History enable students to integrate learning in other subjects, and there is a clear cross-over between work in history and in areas such as Economics, Politics, Philosophy, English Literature, Psychology and Classics. History is taught by highly qualified and experienced staff and is well equipped with the latest textbooks and a range of borrowing resources. We study the Cambridge International A Level, course 9489. This offers a coherent course in Modern European History from 1750 to 1945 and enables students to cover some of the key events and developments which have shaped the modern world. Students will benefit from: • Taking an AS level at the end of the first year. If necessary, these papers can be retaken in the autumn and then summer of the second year. • A range of important topics to study. • No coursework requirement which means more time can be taken in preparation for the examinations. • Clear and user-friendly examination papers
To clarify our admission policy, we do not adopt a rigid policy. Our primary criterion is the ability to demonstrate the motivation and commitment as well as the background skills, knowledge and aptitude necessary to complete the A-level courses successfully. These cannot always be easily defined and our preference is to evaluate these factors on an individual basis, where possible. However, in general, we would expect at least grade B passes (or grade 6) at GCSE across the range of subjects, particularly those relevant to A-level subject choices. The exception to this is Mathematics, Modern Languages and Science where we expect at least A grades. The academic profile of our A-level students varies, although the majority have obtained at least A and B grades at GCSE.
