History provides candidates with a testing intellectual challenge. To know what happened in the past is important but to be able to think and argue knowledgeably about why it happened is more valuable and fulfilling. The course aims to develop the skills of Historical Understanding, Investigation and Communication. It is taught using a mixture of tutorials, lectures, seminars, documents and video and audio tapes. It is not necessary to have studied history at GCSE, but a good grade in English is helpful, as is the ability to write clearly and think objectively.
Pupils must normally achieve five GCSEs in grades 9 to 4, including English and Maths. Candidates are expected to have a grade of 6 or above in the subjects they wish to take in the Sixth Form. Consideration will be given in exceptional circumstances to change this by the Headmaster.
