History

Course summary

The study of History is vital for students in order to develop compassion, curiosity, a critical eye and, in particular, global awareness. The History A level allows students an opportunity to broaden their Historical horizons in a diverse manner. Building on a strong academic tradition all students will study a range of periods with focused themes up to and including the 20th century, around a ‘core’ of either Medieval, Early Modern or Late Modern History. A good understanding of written and spoken English is necessary in order to access the particular source material for these courses.
