History

Course summary

The A Level History course is made up of three units, spread over two years. In the Lower Sixth Form, students will explore the various challenges to liberal democracies that occurred during the twentieth century in both Britain and the USA. They will contextualise these challenges within the changing political, economic, social and cultural landscape of both nations. The British unit also contains a study of historical interpretations that are focused on the impact of Thatcher's governments.
