We firmly believe that our students’ enthusiasm for history should not stop at the classroom door. In order to foster a life-long interest in the past and develop the study skills needed for university education, we aim to provide all A-level historians with a wide range of experiences beyond their studies in school. All students will have the opportunity to go on a residential trip to Berlin, where we visit fascinating historical sites that provide further insight into the themes studied in the Germany and Reformation units. This has not only proven to have a direct effect on academic achievement, but it also brings History to life and thereby leaves a long-lasting impression on our young historians. As a department, we are also always keen to offer daytrips when the opportunity arises. We frequently take our students to lecture days, archives and other events that enrich their academic studies. This allows them to meet professional historians, get an idea of History as an academic discipline at university level, gain access to further resources and work with primary evidence.
