We believe in the importance of learning from history. Our core history course enables students to study different aspects of the past, so they can engage with key issues, such as conflict, understand what drives change and how the past influences the present. We’ve included some exciting topics for today’s world that will resonate with students, helping them gain new insights into the world around them and are applicable across a range of exam boards and qualifications.

The course ensures a substantial study of history as its structure embeds the requirement to study history across three eras, three time scales and three geographical contexts and incorporates each of the five specified elements. Breadth is thereby assured. Students will develop the ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the key features and characteristics of the period studied; explain and analyse historical events and periods studied using second-order historical concepts; analyse, evaluate and use sources (contemporary to the period) to make substantiated judgements, in the context of historical events studied; and analyse, evaluate and make substantiated judgements about interpretations (including how and why interpretations may differ) in the context of historical events studied.

The course provides an excellent foundation of knowledge for budding Historians and leads favourably to study
beyond the GCSE/IGCSE level.
