Understanding History is the root to understanding what it means to be human. The past and the present are necessarily linked. History is therefore essential to understanding what is happening today, who we are and our role within our community. Historians have critical minds, who can adapt their understanding to new situations. They analyse information and data, then they are able to debate and present this material so that it is understandable to others. At St Mary’s we follow the Edexcel exam board; studying USA, 1955-62: Conformity and challenge, Britain transformed, 1918-97 and the Industrial Revolution. This course also has a coursework task, which often is on the Holocaust.
Entry for external candidates at 16+ is conditional upon a candidate achieving a minimum of 5 GCSE grades 9 – 5 (or equivalent), including a minimum Grade 6 in the subjects proposed for study at A Level or can provide evidence that they would succeed in the given subject at A Level standard.
This course is assessed on three examinations and one piece of coursework. All questions are essay based and may require you to use primary sources and historical interpretations in your answer.
