GCE A Level in History A
at The Ecclesbourne School, Belper · school or sixth form
What the college says
We believe that history allows you to predict the future, judge the present and be the change you want to see in the world by analysing what has gone before in order to understand the modern world. After the tumultuous events of the election of Trump, the vote for Brexit and the ongoing political activism, history stands as a bridge between what has happened with what can still be changed today. Our study of history is alive to the idea of making it relevant and powerful to be used by our students in becoming citizens not only of Britain but of the world.
