History

Course summary

History is regarded by all universities as one of the most useful and rigorous A-Levels it is possible to take. Our course focuses on how the actions of individuals created the world in which we live today. As a consequence, we think History is also one of the most interesting A-Levels it is possible to take. Our A-Level course aims to build on the skills and knowledge gained at GCSE. We aim to broaden historical knowledge and introduce fresh material to widen historical perspectives. We take the AQA A-Level. There are three main topics we study across both years of the Sixth Form: Britain, 1906-57 (40% of the final mark) Russia, 1855-1964 (40%) The United States, 1763-1861 (20%; this is a NEA (coursework) essay)
