History oers a wonderful spectacle of every type of human being trying to cope with being alive in the times into which they were born. Love, hate, greed, generosity, brilliance, stupidity – all human life is there. Paper 1: British period study and enquiry Learners study one unit of British History. Paper 2: Non–British period study Learners study one unit of non–British History. Paper 3: Thematic study and historical interpretations Learners study one unit of thematic history, a study over a period of at least 100 years, and three in–depth studies of events, individuals or issues that are key parts of the theme. Paper 4: Topic-based essay (coursework) Learners will complete a 3,000–4,000 word essay on a topic of their choice, which is likely to arise out of content studied elsewhere in the course. This is assessed by the teacher and moderated by the examination board.
In addition to passing our Entrance Examinations, offers are conditional on achieving a minimum of six 9-6 grades at GCSE (or equivalent), including in the subjects to be studied at A Level, where applicable: please see individual subject entry grades on pages 13-61 for subject-specific entry requirements. Girls without these grades may be admitted subject to discussion with the Senior Deputy Head, Director of Sixth Form and the Head. Most of our Sixth Formers follow a 3 A Level programme. Students who would benefit from the opportunity for further stretch and variety are supported to follow a 4 A Level programme. Alongside their 3 or 4 A Levels, girls will also have the opportunity to complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which equates to half an A Level.
