What the college says

We offer an exciting and varied approach to history. You will uncover the social and political History of Great Britain, Germany and the USA to provide you with a contrasting understanding of why the world is the way it is today. You will learn to critically appraise the radical changes which have occurred and develop a deep appreciation of the lessons of the past; “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Santayana We pride ourselves on using not only traditional lectures and discussions in the teaching of this course but of active learning such as role plays and the use of media. Students will work both in groups and independently, and are expected to read around the topics as directed.

We expect students to have achieved at least a grade 5 in GCSE English if they have not studied History before. Students who have studied History at GCSE will be accepted if they have achieved a grade 5 or higher.
