History is a popular A-Level choice at Shebbear College, appealing to those with a love of the subject and a desire to find out more about why the world is like it is today. It is not only engaging and enjoyable but it is also recognised by the Russell Group as one of their key facilitating subjects for accessing the top universities. Through our History A-Level, you will learn the invaluable skills of analysis, argument, self-discipline, empathy, intellectual independence and communication. History can be successfully combined with any other subject, from the more creative to the Sciences.
You do not need to have studied the subject at GCSE in order to take A-level History but it may be an advantage. A Grade 6 in GCSE English is desired and a passion for the subject is essential.
The A-level history course consists of three taught modules and one independent study. Paper 1 and Paper 3 are each assessed in a 135-minute written exam and are each worth 30% of the total mark. Paper 2 is assessed in a 90-minute exam worth 20% of the total mark. The remaining 20% of the total mark is based on the ‘Non-Examined Assessment,’ or independent study. Exams are sat at the end of Year 2.
