What the college says

History is a subject that gives us the opportunity to delve into the past, to study rulers and regimes seemingly far removed from the world we live in today. However, by learning about what has come before, we develop a much clearer understanding of the present and are able to identify patterns and themes that are both consistent and increasingly repetitive. Our teachers have a broad range of interests ranging from Early Modern British History to Twentieth Century World History and this is reflected in the topics delivered with passion in our Sixth Form. The course follows the OCR specification.
