Students opting for A level History will need to complete four units over two years. Units 1 and 2 focus on communism in the twentieth century. Unit 1 is a breadth paper which explores communist Russia between 1917 and 1991 and Unit 2 is a depth study looking at China between 1949 and 1976. After the first year students will have the opportunity to sit an AS level examination on these units. If they choose to continue their studies they will have to retake these two units at the end of year 13 but this time they will sit an A level paper for these units. The A level paper includes the same content as the AS paper but the questions will be more challenging. Students taking History to A level will also study Rebellion and Disorder under the Tudors (1485-1603) in Unit 3. In Unit 4 students will complete an independently researched enquiry on historical interpretations. They will write a 3000-4000 word essay as part of this enquiry which is worth 20 per cent of the overall A level. Students taking History to A level will then complete 3 examinations at the end of year 13.
