The History A-Level allows students to gain depth and breadth on their historical topics whilst developing their critical thinking, analysis and essay-writing. Students look at the history of more than one country or state, looking at significant events, people and issues as well as developments affecting different groups. A range of historical perspectives such as aesthetic, cultural, economic, religious, technological and political are to be reviewed.

Students at A-Level study topics from a chronological range of at least 200 years, with a substantial element being from British/English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh history. Students will develop their skills required for historical research, understanding of cause and consequence, interpretations and evidence.
