Course summary

We live in a dramatically changing world and the opportunity that the study of History provides to ground our understanding of the present in the context of the past, and thus to reach a more profound understanding of contemporary issues, is more important than ever. The A Level History course is designed both to engage and excite through the choice of material to be studied and also to encourage contemplation over issues that are immediate to us today.

Entry requirements

All students need a minimum of five GCSE passes (any subject) at grade 4 or better to study in Sixth Form. If students achieve an average point score of 8 or higher across all of their GCSEs they can study 4 A Levels or equivalent subjects. Must be actively performing at club level in an individual and/or a team sport.

How you'll be assessed

The British Empire and American topics are assessed by 2.5-hour examinations at the end of the course. The coursework unit is introduced in the summer term of the Lower Sixth and is completed by the spring half term, with a series of guidance seminars and one-to-one tutorials being offered.
