Studying A Level History not only helps improve your knowledge of the past but will help you understand the context of the world we live in as well as develop skills essential for progression into university or a career. As such, the course is designed to allow you to explore a variety of historical periods to deepen your understanding of the context of different parts of the world whilst developing independent learning, critical thinking and decision-making skills. The three taught units include England 1445-1509: Lancastrians, Yorkists and Henry VII (The Wars of the Roses), The Crusades and the Crusader States 1095-1192, and Russia and its Rulers 1855-1964. The fourth element of this course is a non-examined assessment in the form of a topic-based essay, with which students will be mentored in a way that replicates the process university students complete a dissertation.
Grade 6 in GCSE History (or English if the student did not sit GCSE History) due to the demanding nature of the course.
History A Level is a two-year linear course with all assessment taking place in the second year. Each taught unit culminates in a written exam with a mixture of source and knowledge-based essay questions. The non-examined assessment is an independently researched essay of 3000-4000 words in length accounting for 20% of the final A Level grade.
