If you enjoy the study of the past, both for its own sake and for the light it throws on the present, then A Level History is for you. The study of History trains you to select relevant information, assess the validity of an argument, think and write logically, make informed judgements about controversial issues and present a well ordered case backed by supporting evidence. The skill most developed by History is that of critical analysis and the ability to express ideas, knowledge and interpretations clearly and coherently. You will be taught by very experienced History teachers. Lessons will be challenging and engaging. Each student is provided with the relevant course textbooks, although extra reading about the topics will be encouraged. In lessons you will have the opportunity for discussion and group work as well as individual study. Considerable support will be given to help you develop your essay writing skills and exam technique.
