What the college says

The History course is a fascinating, balanced mix of early modern and modern history. The course components allow students to consider and compare themes such as the role of ideas and individuals causing change in the structures of power and the suppression of opposition. We challenge and encourage the students to develop a passion and enthusiasm for the topics studied. We teach History in an active and inspiring way making wide use of documentary evidence including books, film, propaganda posters, speeches and visual sources. We encourage a high level of student participation and we value the importance of class discussion and debate. To support Component 3, the department runs a biennial trip to Krakow in Poland, open to all sixth form History students, where we visit the most infamous Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We also run a visit to London to support AS and A2 components. We visit the Imperial War Museum, Churchill?s war bunker and tour the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Hall.
