History

Course summary

Only in small part is History about the chronology of the past – a reflective historian is well aware that informed by modern prejudices, their task is to sift through a weight of evidence to develop a coherent world view. The way information is selected and interpreted requires the analytical rigour of a lawyer. Sixth Form History courses consider both social and political themes, both in detail over relatively short periods as well as much broader themes and events that unfold over many decades.
