GCSE at grade 6 is preferred. However, it may not be essential for an able pupil to have studied History at GCSE, as long as they have high grades in essay writing subjects such as English Literature or Religious Studies.

A willingness to undertake wide reading and confidence with the evaluation of historical documents will greatly facilitate study. A key vocabulary list for starters is available on request.
