This is a two-year course through the AQA exam board, with two exams taken in the summer term of Year 13. The examined content is; The British Empire, c1857–1967 and Modern USA, 1945–1980. In addition, all pupils submit a piece of Non-Examined Assessment (Coursework) which is a 3,500 word research essay on either the Crusades or rebellions against the Tudor monarchs. The NEA is worth 20% of the A Level. To complement the USA topic, pupils have a chance to visit Washington DC to see key government and historic sites such as the White House, Capitol Hill, the Pentagon and the Lincoln Memorial. To practice their public speaking, pupils have the opportunity to present on a historical/ political topic of their choosing to the Bracken Society.
Assessment for entry into Year 12 (6th Form), is subject to a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above – with higher Grades being required to facilitate the taking of A Levels in certain subjects
