A-Level History aims to help pupils make sense of the world around them and their place within it by studying a series of topics that are not only fascinating in themselves, but also provide valuable insights into human nature. The course requires and nurtures a range of skills that are both fundamental to historical study at Sixth Form and university levels, but also transferable and widely valued. There are three components to the course. The A-Level History course ranges from the power politics of late 15th and 16th century Tudor England to the rise and fall of the Nazi Regime. We will also be learning about the long road from slavery to citizenship for African Americans in the late 19th and 20th century USA. On the way, we'll encounter some of the most recognisable individuals and events in modern history. We'll be discussing and evaluating these larger-than-life characters and episodes as part of understanding and evaluating conflicting interpretations of the past. Component 1: 1C The Tudors: England, 1485-1603 The course and first year of the A Level examines the creation and consolidation of the Tudor Dynasty: England, 1485-1547, looking at Henry VII and Henry VIII. The second year of the A Level considers the development of government and society under Henry Vill's three children. Component 2: 20 Democracy and Nazism: Germany, 1918-1945 The first year of the course examines the creation and collapse of the Weimar Republic between 1918 and 1933. The second year of the A Level examines the 12 years of Nazi rule from 1933-1945. Component 3: Coursework ("NEA" Non-Examined Unit): 1865-1968 American Civil Rights Completed in U6. American Civil Rights 1965-1968, using source material to debate who or what did the most to help realise civil rights for African Americans, including the role of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, the leadership of Presidents; and the study of major events in the civil rights movement
Successful candidates will be offered a place conditional on specified grades at I/GCSE, typically a minimum of six I/GCSEs at grade 8-9. Sporting, creative and other talents are also important as they form an integral part of the Sixth Form programme.
