In this first year, you will look at 20th Century German and 16th Century British History. This involves coverage of diverse topics ranging from the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party in the 1930s, to the succession of Mary 1st of England in 1553 and the execution of Lady Jane Grey shortly thereafter. The AS qualification is met through two 90 minute examinations that require an evaluation of historical evidence and interpretations as well as a single essay on each paper. You have been trained in these skills since Year 7 and while specific knowledge is important, History is no more challenging than subjects of equivalent academic reputation.
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.
