Have you ever wondered why the film and TV industries continue to dramatise events in the past? It’s because they are fascinating and important. We need to study the past to be able to understand where we come from and our position in the world, and to learn lessons for the future. History broadens the mind. It allows us to fulfil our natural inquisitiveness. It’s concerned not only with the ‘hows’ but, more importantly, the ‘whys’. An interest in the past stems from the needs of people to discover a sense of their own identity and an awareness of their own culture, as well as that of other societies. The study of History is pursued through the examination of a wide range of evidence; the historian’s skill lies in the ability to evaluate and interpret this evidence and to present clear, concise and relevant arguments in support of conclusions about the past. Year 12 Paper 1 - Russia, 1917-91: from Lenin to Yeltsin. In this 'breadth study', students will learn about the key political, social and economic features of communist rule in Russia during an era that saw its authority and influence rise to the status of a superpower, only to diminish and decline later in the century. Paper 2 - Mao's China, 1949-76. In this depth study, students will evaluate the political, economic, social and cultural transformation of China under Chairman Mao Zedong. The aftershocks of these changes are still being felt today as China emerges as a great economic and political power on the world stage. Year 13 Paper 3 - Protest, agitation and parliamentary reform in Britain, 1780-1928. This 'breadth and topics in depth' study explores the relationship between authority and mass agitation in Britain; the struggle for greater representation and the ways in which the interests and concerns of individuals in society could make themselves known. Coursework - the purpose of coursework is to enable students to develop skills in the analysis and evaluation of interpretations of history in a chosen question, problem or issue related to Paper 3 as part of an independently researched assignment.
