History is a challenging and rewarding A-Level subject. Students who take History do not just learn facts; they develop skills in analysis, problem solving, independent learning and communication.

Students who study history have the opportunity to explore events that have shaped the world we live in. Our topics cover a wide chronological, geographic and thematic range: from late medieval times to the present day; from the United States to Russia; from the English Reformation to the US Civil Rights campaigns of the 1960s.

Our students also develop a number of important academic skills, including the ability to critically evaluate source material, and produce written arguments that are well structured, coherently expressed and fully supported by the careful selection of evidence.
