A-Level History is about far more than dates. You’ll investigate why events happened, weigh conflicting sources and interpretations, and build well-evidenced arguments about how and why the world changed.
You’ll study a mix of British and wider world history, with the specific periods chosen by the department, and complete an independent investigation on a topic that interests you.
Before you start Year 12, you’ll complete a short History bridging project over the summer to get a head start, alongside our Sixth Form expectations and dress code.
Tracing change and continuity across a long period of history.
A detailed look at a turbulent period, its people and its causes.
Judging the value and limits of evidence from the time.
How and why historians disagree about the past.
A personal research project on a question you choose.
Explaining why events happened and how significant they were.
Course content and assessment can vary by exam board and year. Contact the Sixth Form team for the current specification.
