History develops skills that are highly rated by universities and employers: analysis, argument, empathy and intellectual independence. The course features the important ‘key skills’ of communication and critical thinking. Historians go on to pursue a wide variety of careers including business, advertising, public relations, law, the civil service, the armed forces, teaching, research, accountancy, banking and insurance. There will be an option to choose one of two areas of history – each of which will contain three taught units, covering 200 years, and a coursework unit, which enables pupils to choose a topic of their own particular interest. Option 1 - Britain, America and the ‘special relationship’ Option 2 - Europe and Revolution
To embark on A-levels or a BTEC pupils should have five grades 6 (b) in GCSE/IGCSE and at least grade 4 (OR C) in Mathematics and English in exceptional circumstances the Head Master may allow pupils to join the sixth form without achieving this hurdle as long as motivation can be guaranteed. Such an arrangement be reviewed termly. We strongly recommend pupils start A-levels having achieved a grade 7(or A) GCSE/IGCSE in each of the subjects they have chosen, or in subjects similar to those they have chosen. In addition, pupils should not start Mathematics or a Science A-level Without having achieved a grade 7(or A) in Mathematics
