History is the pursuit of enlightenment following a rigorous and enjoyable inquiry. By studying History, you will be entering a world where you are encouraged to challenge opinion, to assess the validity of arguments, and to utilise evidence, logic and rhetoric to champion a perspective. Perhaps most importantly, History is an opportunity for you to consider who we all are, and how we came to be as such. If you enjoy asking the big questions, engaging in debate, reading, and discovering things for yourself, then History is for you!
Sixth Form, conditional on them achieving at least three GCSEs at Grade 7 and three GCSEs at Grade 5 (or three A and three B grades).
Both the Age of Crusades and the Making of Modern Britain components are examined assessments each constituting 40% of the A Level. Both papers require structured essays and, at times, the assessment and evaluation of historical perspectives or contemporary source material. The Historical Investigation makes up the remaining 20% of the A Level and requires you to undertake an extended piece of writing on a topic spanning one hundred years. This will be partially taught, however, there will be an onus on you to conduct rigorous independent research ahead of completion.
