History is about the study of the past and the understanding of the present. Students develop the skills of investigation, explanation, analysis, interpretation, evaluation and judgement as well as an understanding of the society in which we live. A GCSE pass in History is good preparation, but is not essential. The course will focus on the key ideas and events of the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and will include units on the history of early modern Europe, Britain and the USA.
The A Level examination papers contain a mixture of source-based, structured and essay questions. There will be examination papers on Units 1, 2 and 3 in Year 13 that carry 80% of the final A Level grade. The coursework task will be internally assessed and externally moderated in May of Year 13 and will count for the final 20% of the A Level marks.
