History

Course summary

History is the stories we tell ourselves about the past. At St Anne’s, we look at some of our most important stories – the birth of modern England through the Tudor Dynasty, and the failure of modernity with the rise of the Nazis. More than just telling these stories, at A-Level we can challenge them and understand how these stories change depending on when they are told and who is doing the telling. On a solid foundation of knowledge, we analyze and evaluate both primary sources and the interpretations of later historians. Students also get the chance to tell their own story, and are given complete freedom to choose a topic for their coursework.
