CURRICULUM INTENT

Our A Level curriculum furthers the historical skills that students have gained at KS4. We aim to develop student's skills of critical analysis allowing them to actively engage in historical debate and analyse the quality and value of both primary and secondary sources.  Alongside these fundamental skills, we aim to broaden student’s horizons, giving them a greater understanding of the factors and events that have shaped the world around them.
