History

Course summary

History is a popular A-Level subject at Merchant Taylors’, taught by three subject specialists whose passion and enthusiasm for their particular areas of interest is passed on to the girls in their tutelage. The aim of our passionate History department is that all girls finish their Sixth Form study having immersed themselves in a variety of historical periods in a number of countries and have the ability to evaluate the validity of differing historical interpretations and a good understanding of historiography. This course gives girls the opportunity to work collaboratively and/or independently and gain transferable skills which will help them in other subjects, further studies and future career. A Sixth Form historian is likely to find themselves analysing everything from religious or political reform to modern cinematic masterpieces.
