We follow the AQA History Syllabus (7042) at A-Level. The A-Level consists of three components, two of which are assessed by an end of course exam and the third by an individual coursework investigation. The content for the two examined units is taught across the two A-Level years and boys will start the coursework in the summer term of Year 12, for submission in the spring term of Year 13. You will study a mixture of Modern European and British History and Medieval World History, including the rise of Fascism in Italy, the political, economic and social history of 19th Century Britain and the Age of the Crusades
Because the skills required at A-Level build upon foundations laid in Years 10 and 11, you are unlikely to do well at A-Level without a Grade 7 or above at GCSE. A good grade in English is also very useful.
You will be taught by two members of the department during each of your A-Level years. For each unit, you will be taught about the main themes, characters and events of the periods being studied. You will then be required to develop your knowledge further through wider reading and research. During the course we will assess your progress through a variety of tests, presentations and written exercises; in particular, you will need to develop the skills of A-Level essay writing. However, you will find much of this familiar, as the A Level builds on the essay and source skills that you have already developed at GCSE.
