In the final year, you will investigate Russian history between 1855 and 1964. Tsarist and communist regimes are compared for both change and continuity in an empire that has undergone more than its fair share of revolution, war and political terror. This part of the course is examined in a 150 minute paper. All students will also complete an individual coursework essay on a topic of their choice. This will involve a combination of independent study, skills teaching and individual supervision. Note also that both modules covered in the Lower Sixth will need to be re-examined at the end of the Upper Sixth.
Our Sixth Form entry also requires an interview with the Heads of Sixth Form, after which a conditional offer will be made and will be dependent upon agreed GCSE grade requirements. Our standard requirement is Grade 6 or above in the chosen A-Level subjects (or relevant subject), Grade 5 or above in English and Maths and Grade 4 or above in non-related GCSE subjects.
