A2 History

UPDATED 20160919 11:15:06

History is an endlessly fascinating subject with infinite possibilities and perspectives. It is probably the academic subject that gives rise to most public debate in Britain and its contemporary importance and relevance are widely acknowledged. As Marcus Garvey remarked a people without knowledge of their past history is like a tree without roots. The skills acquired in A level history complement the study of a wide range of other academic courses and they help to prepare you for successful careers in among other things the law the civil service the media marketing accountancy research teaching and heritage work. Three of our students went on to read history at the University of Cambridge in 2014 (four did so in 2013) and UCL Warwick and York are other popular destinations. As you would expect to help you get the most from this vivid and varied subject you will be presented with a wealth of opportunities including trips to London and elsewhere and we will host visits from distinguished historians. Lessons will involve teacher exposition individual and group work student-led debates and presentations and you will use the most up-to-date specialist books and periodicals and a variety of mixed media resources.
