Ignite a passion for the past as you study complicated historical questions in great depth across a fantastic range of areas covering British and world history. Topics focus on a mix of political, social, economic and cultural history, which will help you see patterns and trends in history and recognise the impact of past events on today’s complex societies. You will study three topics: the early Stuarts and the origins of the Civil War (1603 – 1646); the execution of Charles I and the Interregnum (1646 – 1660); the USA in the 19th century: westward expansion and Civil War (1803 - c.1890) and China and its rulers (1839 – 1989). These three units are assessed in three exams at the end of Year 13. The USA topic is brought to life during our trip to Washington DC. In Year 13 you will complete an extended essay on an area of your own interest. Our most recent student essay topics have been wide-ranging, including the reasons for Henry VIII’s break with the Catholic Church, the French Resistance in the Second World War, the role of the Suffragettes in women winning the vote 100 years ago and the reasons for the failure of the prohibition of alcohol in 1920s America. You will develop a wide range of essential skills that will be indispensable in your future studies. You will become an analytical, critical thinker and well-informed decision-maker, as well as a highly literate, persuasive communicator.
All candidates are expected to achieve a minimum of five GCSEs at grade 9 to 5, including English and Maths, and at least grade 7 in the A Level subjects to be studied, or equivalent subjects.
