History (A-Level)
at Twynham School, Christchurch · school or sixth form
What the college says
Our young people are growing up in a world where it is increasingly challenging to differentiate between fact and opinion, truth and falsehood. Equally the narrative of our history has increasingly become a political issue, seized upon by those across the political spectrum. History and the knowledge acquired through its study could not, therefore, be more relevant or important to our young people. Through A-level History, students will gain key knowledge and understanding that they need in order to be able to make sense of the world around them, but alongside this we hope to inspire a curiosity and lifelong interest in History. Students will also gain crucial disciplinary skills which will enable them to be lifelong learners of history but also to be able to think critically about sources of information. Students will also learn to write and construct evaluative arguments in relation to historical questions. These are skills which will benefit them in further study and employment.
