History

Assessment

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.
