HISTORY - AS and A2

History involves the systematic study of events, individuals, issues and societies of the past. You will be able to build upon knowledge and understanding of past events and the impact of those events on our world to-day.

The study will involve the analysis and evaluation of historical evidence, and development of how and why the past is open to different judgements and interpretations. It is intended to help you develop and deploy a range of skills such as collecting and evaluating information, independent thought, weighing up the arguments and an ability to support your judgements.

A good grade in GCSE History is essential. The assessment units require students to be able to demonstrate a significant standard of written communication.
