In history, students will develop an understanding of a range of historical events, periods, and people that have shaped Britain and the world. Students will be able to make connections between different time periods and understand the importance of key historical events. Students will be able to see how historical changes and consequences have shaped history as well as the world in which we live today. They will learn through enquiry and be curious about historical narratives, approaching interpretations of history critically, and reaching reasoned judgements of their own based upon evidence. Students will increase their knowledge of historical periods, people, trends and events so that they develop a rich knowledge of the past which builds cultural capital, takes them beyond their lived experience and allows them to engage meaningfully in the process of historical enquiry. Students will develop their disciplinary knowledge of how historians investigate the past through second order concepts and by engaging thoughtfully with sources of evidence and historical interpretations. Students build their confidence to communicate knowledge effectively, both written and orally, so that students can construct written answers that evaluate, judge and argue as well as to use the language of historians to convey an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the past.
English Lang - 5 Relevant Subject - At least a grade 6 at GCSE A minimum of seven grade 5s in full course GCSE subjects.
Students sit examinations in their A Level courses at the end of Year 13. All students will take internal end of year examinations at the end of year 12 to determine suitability to continue with the subject in Year 13. Students who do not meet the required pass grade in the Year 12 end of year examinations will not be permitted to progress into Year 13. History A Level is now a two year linear course and will be assessed at the end of the two years with three examination units and one coursework unit. There will be no option for students to sit the AS qualification - we are no longer offering AS courses and all History courses last two years.
