If you are interested in these questions; in the history of Britain, Europe and the World – History is for you. If you are interested in why people and nations change, fight, revolt and makeup – history is for you. History is more than just an academic subject, you will learn about different cultures, peoples, races and responsibilities. If this interests you - history should be your choice. History at CHS is not a subject stuck in the past. Far from it, we will show you how historical events are what have shaped our society – History is your route to the future! Our History course is demanding and exciting, aiming to provide you with an insight into British, Russian and American history. You will develop in the process, important transferable skills such as analysis, evaluating information, summarising and organising ideas, and constructing clear, logical arguments both verbally and in writing. These are vital skills for a range of careers, from areas of obvious relevance such as teaching, journalism, law and politics, to fields such as medicine, banking and business leadership. History is ideal for pupils who have an interest in the way the world has developed through the ages and who enjoy investigation and discovery. We want pupils who wish to develop their skills of analysis and investigation and who enjoy debating and putting forward a well-argued case. You will need to be prepared to utilise evidence to make up your mind and be able to work on your own or as part of a research team on a historical investigative project.
Passes in a minimum of six subjects at GCSE (Grade B or above or Grade 6 on the number grading scheme). There is a minimum requirement of 40 points accrued across the six highest GCSE grades to enter the Sixth Form at Croydon High. A GCSE Grade 7 or above in History.
Our GCE History course from AQA is linear with all examinations completed at the end of Upper Sixth. In addition to the two examination modules the AQA GCE in History also comprises a Non-Examined Assessment accounting for 20% of the A level. Paper 1 and Paper 2 A-Level History combine as a thematic study of Communist states in the twentieth century. Paper 1 covers Russia 1917–91. It is a breadth study with interpretations, structured into four themes. Paper 2 is an depth study with sources on Mao’s China 1949–76. It is also structured into four key topics and laid out in a more chronological fashion and more depth than Paper 1. Paper 3 follows Protest, agitation and parliamentary reform in Britain, c1780–1928 and meets the subject criteria requirement for pupils to show an understanding of change over at least 100 years. The Non-Examined Assessment is worth 20%. You have a free choice of topic, but the History department will guide you through the topics of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Black Power Movement of 1960s and 1970s America. Our Non-Examined Assessment will provide you with a broad sweep of African American history, from the death of slavery during the Civil War (1861-65) through to the re-election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the USA. You will write a 3,500-word essay examining either why this change happened or the extent of the change taking place.
