Course summary

Knowledge of the past is fundamental in understanding the present. The way that individuals, institutions and countries react is almost always as a result of events in the past, and thus if you know and appreciate this past, then you can better deal with them in the present. This is why many lawyers, journalists and politicians have studied History. The investigative skills required to study History at A-Level teach us how to approach any piece of information, be it newspaper articles, crime scenes or political viewpoints, and look for the truth, if there is one.

Entry requirements

It would be advisable to have at least a 6 in History, but a healthy interest in the subject is far more important. Offers of places are made by the Headmaster and are usually conditional upon the candidate achieving at least 6 subjects at GCSE at Grade 6 or above. Candidates must obtain a GCSE Grade 6 or above in English Language and Mathematics. Candidates will normally be expected to have achieved at least a Grade 7 in the subjects they wish to study at A-Level, and the offer of a place is made subject to the School’s judgement of a candidate’s ability to benefit from the education offered in the Sixth Form.
