Throughout human existence, societies have their storytellers. Historians have examined what has preceded them, and how that has shaped their understanding of the world in which they live. From Herodotus and Thucydides in the ancient world to perspectives as varied as Ferguson, Olusoga and Schama today, independent thinkers and rigorous debaters have defined, enlivened and relished in the study of History. The A Level course continues many of the best aspects of GCSE. There will be plenty of opportunities for discussion, argument and analysis of sources, including primary documents to historians’ views. This is complemented by a rich super-curricular selection of films, podcasts, television and other online resources. There is ample scope for research and debate, particularly around the interpretations of historians to see how far you accept their views, whilst you will be encouraged to develop analytical, problem-solving and communication skills which makes History such a respected discipline by universities and employers.
GCSE Requirements • At least three grade 7s or above • At least three grade 6s or above • At least grade 5 in English and Maths • The required grade at I/GCSE in the qualifying subject/s required for their chosen courses – see the Qualifying Subjects.
