A-level history comprises two examined modules and an extended coursework essay (or Non-Examined Assessment). Each examined course is divided into two sections. The whole course is examined at the end of Year 13. We have chosen to cover the following topics: [1] The Tudors: England, 1485-1603 ● Consolidation of the Tudor Dynasty: England, 1485–1547 ● England: Turmoil and Triumph, 1547–1603 [2] Revolution and dictatorship: Russia, 1917-1953 ● The Russian Revolution and the Rise of Stalin, 1917-1929 ● Stalin’s Rule, 1929-1953 [3] The Non-Examined Assessment Students will be required to research a question connected with our chosen topic, African American Civil Rights, 1865-1968. Assessment takes the form of an independently-produced essay of between 3500 and 4500 words in length
History appeals to anyone with a lively and enquiring mind. Those wishing to take the subject in the sixth form will usually have a good GCSE or IGCSE grade in it, but this is not a formal qualification for the course and many good students come to us without having taken history in Year 11. A GCSE in English language (or IELTS equivalent) is essential but equally important is the willingness to work hard and think for yourself.
