taught, in the main, by one teacher for Humanities, which incorporates
History and Geography.

interest and research skills. As well as having

History, a summary
Key Elements
KS4
History is an optional subject,
but it is always very well supported by students who have enjoyed
the subject at KS3.
We follow the GCSE course: OCR Schools History Project. The two main areas of study are Medicine and Health Through
Time
and Germany 1919 - 1945. Students also complete two
pieces of coursework: Saltaire and Vietnam, which is 25% of the final
mark.
The
department offers revision classes,
coursework clinics, in-house revision guides and individual support
where appropriate.
Medicine and health through time
KS5
We often need to run two parallel groups to accommodate
demand at post-16 level. We study the Edexcel course, comprising three units
at both AS and A2 level. In Year 12 students study The Poor Law, French Revolution and Napoleon. Year 13 cover The Reign of
Elizabeth, Chartism and also complete a piece of coursework on The Role
of Women in the 20th Century.
