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.

Entry requirements

For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
