History is not just a fascinating study in itself, it is a valuable way to increase our understanding of the world in which we live. Learning how things came to be as they are enhances our appreciation of the political, economic, social and cultural organisation of our own and other countries. It teaches us who we are and gives insights into the principles and values on which this is based. It explains age old conflicts, demonstrates the power of ideas and gives us the big picture of how change has proved possible in the past and may be possible in the future. History students gain valuable skills of organisation and analysis. Their critical abilities are sharpened and they learn to write stylishly and to argue effectively. History students at CCHS study a stimulating combination of early modern and modern historical themes, which significantly enrich our appreciation of the world today. The components chosen will develop students understanding of political conflict and instability whilst considering the role played by individuals groups and nations. Students will develop a sophisticated understanding of significant historical developments and associated historical interpretations through completing a breadth study in “The Tudors: England 1485-1603”. They will refine their high levels of analysis and ability to interpret primary sources through the depth study of major changes and developments in “International Relations and Global Conflicts, c1890-1941”. Alongside these components students will complete a historical issue of their choice. They will evaluate the historiographical interpretations of a key area of debate about the past, and therefore provide students with an exciting opportunity to experience the research methods of an academic historian.
