History in the Sixth form offers a chance to explore further the central aspect of all History: human motivation. Asking why things happened (and what were their effects) is an essential and rewarding experience and requires skills of critical analysis, discrimination, argument and persuasion. History can be taken in conjunction with a wide variety of subjects. Traditionally, it is chosen to complement the arts, languages and social sciences but also works well for scientists looking for a slightly different fourth subject. Beyond the Sixth Form, History affords good preparation for a range of degrees and careers such as law, journalism and the media, teaching, business, accountancy and banking.
Our offers of places into Year 12 are conditional upon a candidate achieving a minimum of six 8s or 9s at GCSE, including Grades 8 or 9 in the subjects proposed for study at A Level.
