History (KS5):
A Level History is designed to build upon and develop further an interest in the subject and, in doing so, increase understanding of human development and social behaviour. The department offers 2 courses (numbers permitting) and they are:
* Modern History (AS) & Modern History (A2)
* Early Modern History (AS) & Early Modern History (A2)
AS courses are followed in Lower Sixth, and A2 in Upper Sixth. Each course is divided into 6 modules.
AS Modules 1&2 will be examined by written papers of 1.5 hrs at the end of the lower sixth year. Module 3 is examined by 2 externally set course essays of 1000 words each. A2 modules 4&5 are examined by written papers of 1.5 hrs at the end of the upper sixth. Module 6, the Personal Study, is internally assessed and moderated externally.
For each course, European and British History are given 4 periods per week, with use of lecture techniques, discussions, taped materials, video/DVD, documentary evidence and an increasing use of extensive resources available via Information Communication Technology.
