History

A-level

History isn’t a subject that is stuck in the past. Far from it! Historical events are what have shaped society worldwide into what it is today. As George Santanyana so aptly said ‘those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ During the course of year 12 and 13 students will study units 1, 2 and 3 concurrently.
