Sixth form historians follow the OCR A-level syllabus, taking papers in British and non- British history, a thematic study over a period of more than 100 years, and completing an independent coursework essay of 4,000 words, studying a combination of medieval or early modern, and modern history. Throughout the course you will learn how to argue, approach sources critically, and analyse and evaluate historical interpretations. Many A-level historians go on to study the subject at university, but it also provides the analytical and essay-writing skills required for many other courses such as Economics, PPE and Law.
You should be expecting to gain an 8, 9 or A* at GCSE in any subjects you might take at A-level. We are also looking for pupils who are curious about the world around them, who ask questions and demand answers, and who have the drive and desire to learn beyond any exam.
