History

Entry Requirements

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 strong facility with the reading and writing of English is essential for success with this subject at A Level. A willingness to undertake wide reading and confidence with the evaluation of historical documents will greatly facilitate study.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.
