History A Level explores four historical periods in depth. In the Lower Sixth we follow the theme ‘Revolutions in Early Modern Europe’ and study ‘Britain,1625-1701: conflict, revolution and settlement’ exploring the turbulent period of British History which saw the execution of the monarch, a short-lived republic and the Glorious Revolution. We also examine Russia in revolution 1894-1924, a period which saw the end of Tsarist rule and the Bolshevik revolution. In the Upper Sixth we explore the nature of the witch craze that took hold in the late sixteenth century in Europe and America, and the changing attitudes to magic and sorcery that eventually contributed to its decline. Students will study the social, economic, political and religious dimensions of the phenomenon and the broad intellectual changes that ushered in what is often called the Age of Reason. The coursework assignment investigates the controversial issue of popularity and efficiency in the Nazi Dictatorship. Students will examine and evaluate the work of three historians and develop independent research skills that are crucial for university.
Minimum of grade 6 in GCSE History For full course details, please refer to the individual subject information sheet on our website and/or our prospectus.
