    A Level

The study of history provides a fascinating contrast of periods, personalities and approaches. It helps us understand the lives of people who have lived before us and the way in which they have shaped the world in which we live. Study of the subject sharpens the critical faculties and the skills developed can be used in many other fields. It is hoped that the contrast between the late medieval, early modern period and twentieth century fascism will prove both interesting and intellectually stimulating for students.
