History at Kingswood is taught by a department of engaging, enthusiastic, and experienced subject specialists whose passion is to pass on their love of History to their students. In the Sixth Form, Kingswood historians are provided with a varied diet of periods of study. At A Level, Kingswood historians study the Wars of the Roses, the American Revolution, and 19th and 20th century Russia – as well as engaging in their independent investigation. This independent investigation can be on any topic, or period, and is an excellent grounding for the many students who choose to continue with the subject at the undergraduate level. Many A-Level historians also study Politics in the Sixth Form and to help underpin this link the Department is excitedly planning a joint History and Politics A-Level trip to Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia in October 2022.
