History and Politics

Studying these subjects at A Level will help you understand the modern world, challenge ideas and provide opportunities to debate provocative issues whether that be events from over 100 years ago or situations that will occur tomorrow! Across both subjects you will learn about different societies, past and present, develop an awareness of cultural and political issues and analyse a wide range of information.
