Course summary

History is the study of people who schemed and plotted, fell in and out of love, got angry and jealous, won and lost, lived and died - just like us. What could be more fascinating? Focusing on key events and personalities from the last five hundred years, you will gain an insight into the forces which have shaped Britain and the Modern World. Ask yourself: • have I enjoyed History at GCSE? • do I enjoy lively debate and discussion? • am I interested in people? • am I interested in asking questions and searching for answers? What skills or background knowledge will be needed? Prospective candidates for this course need to demonstrate a real and active interest in the subject, in addition to a good set of GCSE results, solid ability in written communication and a hunger to find out why the world is like it is today.

Entry requirements

The requirements for entry to the Sixth Form are six good grades (9 - 6) at GCSE unless there are extenuating circumstances. Given the demands of A-level study, you should have attained at least a grade 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A level (or ideally a grade 9 in Mathematics if you wish to study Further Mathematics). Throughout Year 11 you are given a great deal of guidance to select the course of study that best suits your academic needs and career aspirations.
