History teaches students about people and societies of the past, but just as importantly, it will equip them with the skills necessary for success in many Higher Education courses and in future careers. For example, it will help them to think critically and to argue and reason from evidence. Francis Bacon observed that “Histories make men wise”.
No specific content knowledge is required, but girls who have not completed GCSE History will need to be committed to putting in extra work to develop the skills necessary for success in the subject. All girls must enjoy reading, and whilst the Department employs a range of teaching strategies to deliver content in a stimulating way, assessment is exclusively through extended writing and challenging analysis of source material.
