history
Years 7 to 9 study the period between 1066 and the 1980s, covering issues
such as the Medieval periods, 'Tudors and Stuarts' and 'The Industrial
Revolution'. Each Year group has a specialist area that is studied in
greater depth.
In Years 10 and 11, the focus of study is 'International Relations in
the period 1919 to 1939'. The three in-depth studies are 'The USA between
1919 and 1939', 'British History from 1906' and 'Germany from 1919 to
1939'. The latter is examined as coursework.
At AS level, students study 'Russia in Revolution (1905 - 1917)', 'The
Liberal Governments (1905 - 1915)' and 'Life in Hitler's Germany' for
the AS.
A2 students study 'German Foreign Policy (1933 - 1939)', 'Representation
and Democracy in Britain (1830 - 1931)' and 'Hitler and the Nazi State
(1933 - 1939)'.
These units may be adjusted to take into account individuals' interests.
Students at all levels have the opportunity to make visits to sites in
this country and throughout Europe. In recent years, groups have seen
First World War trenches, Berlin, Auschwitz and the Salt Mines in Poland,
St Petersburg and Moscow.
In class, a wide range of media, including interactive CDs, are used
to help students gain in-depth understanding of each topic.
