Small seminar-style study groups offer students individual attention and tailored support in all aspects of the course. Students are challenged with extension reading in all their studies and have the opportunity to develop their own interests through free choice of coursework topics. We meet with students on a one- to-one basis to check their progress and offer help with particular skills or topics where needed, and to prepare them for university applications including Oxbridge. All students are encouraged to attend Historical Association lectures, which are free to them through the School’s membership. We are fortunate to have exam markers in the department who can offer students guidance on improving their answers, and History is delivered by excellent subject specialists around whose expertise the A Level course has been built. We run an exciting range of trips and visits including the popular Berlin Tour to help enrich and develop students’ understanding of the subject. What will I study during the course? You will study Germany and West Germany, 1918-1989; Spain, 1930-1978: republicanism, Francoism and the UK establishment of democracy OR The rise and fall of fascism in Italy c1911-1946; Rebellion and disorder under the Tudors, 1485-1603, and independently research a piece of coursework on a topic of your own choice from outside your A Level course of study.
Students are expected to have attained five A*-C / 9-5 grades at GCSE, including English Language and Mathematics, with a 6 / B grade in History. If a student wishes to study this A Level without taking History at GCSE, their case will be given careful consideration, and they must have at least a 6 / B grade in English Language. To take this subject in the Sixth Form, you should have a lively and questioning mind and a real interest in the world, society and the cause and consequence of events. A willingness to read widely independently, explore new ideas and form theories about and analyses of events is important, as is the ability to communicate ideas effectively both orally and in writing.
