Nationally, History is a very popular choice at A Level, and entry to university courses has become highly competitive. One appeal lies in the opportunity to travel in the imagination to another place in time, and to seek to comprehend the thoughts and assumptions of that other age. Conversely, study of the past can also help us to understand the present, and maybe even the future. Those who opt to study History will, we hope, develop their abilities to use evidence critically and to write and argue effectively.
History at GCSE is not a requirement but students who have taken GCSE should have at least a grade 6. Students for whom English is not a first language have been among our most successful candidates, but for all History students strong language skills are important, as is an enjoyment of reading and of questioning. History at A Level combines well with many other subjects. It leads on naturally to a wide range of university courses, both the vocational and the purely academic.
