The A Level History course at Halliford seeks to expose students to a wide variety of topics and themes in order to develop a broad historical perspective. In Lower Sixth, students study the Early Tudors from Henry VII through to Mary I. They learn about the establishment of the Tudor dynasty under Henry VII, Henry VIII’s religious changes, and the threats from rebellions and uprisings throughout the period. This is complemented with a non-British period study of the French Revolution and Napoleon. This examines the causes of the Revolution, and how it changed over time from a moderate to a radical revolution. It then moves on to look at the rise of Napoleon and his military campaigns across Europe. In Upper Sixth, we study US Civil Rights from 1865-1992. This broad course includes the African-American civil rights movement, and also women’s rights and feminist movements, Native American civil rights movement, and the effect of the New Deal on workers rights. Students will also research and complete a 3000-4000 word coursework essay on a topic of their choice.
We are delighted that you are considering Halliford Sixth Form. Entry into Sixth Form is based on an interview, a satisfactory report from the previous school, and a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above including English and Mathematics. It is a requirement that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in the subjects that they wish to study at A Level.
