History

Assessment

The A-Level History course consists of three components. The theme is the role of the individual in history and there is a wide range of British and European topics. The modules are graduated in difficulty with a "synoptic" coursework module at the end covering the full range of skills from previous modules. The method of examination is wide-ranging from document and source material to more extended writing and, finally, the traditional essay. With this in mind, the following courses are a guideline as we intend to keep as much continuity as possible.
