Our aim in the History Department is two-fold: to help you to achieve the best possible results you can at A Level, and beyond that to give you a deeper understanding of British and European society, politics and culture. On top of that, History will provide you with unrivalled training in the analysis, organisation and communication of information - all of which are important skills in the world of work. History is one of the most popular Arts subjects at university and can lead to a wide range of job opportunities: the media, the legal profession, the civil service, and virtually every branch of commerce, banking and industry. The mental training which the subject provides is second to none and is in demand in many walks of life. We study AQA History, resulting in two exams and a piece of coursework. The examined units are a breadth study of Germany from 1871-1991 and a depth study of Britain from 1951- 2007. You are required to write essays for both papers and analyse either historical interpretations or primary sources (depending on the unit). Both of these units are taught over the two years. We believe that this course provides a good mixture of historical skills and a stimulating diversity of content, and we hope that those who choose it will find it an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Entry to Rendcomb College Sixth Form requires you to have achieved five grades 4 - 9 at GCSE with a grade 6 in each subject studied at A Level. For Mathematics and Science, we recommend you have a grade 7 at GCSE. You must also achieve grade 4 or above in GCSE English Language/Literature and Maths or you will be supported to re-sit.
