    Students will also study a fourth Unit in Year 13 which is assessed by coursework on a topic decided by the centre and the students.

Assessments

Students sit examinations in their A Level courses at the end of Year 13. All students will take internal end of year examinations at the end of year 12 to determine suitability to continue with the subject in Year 13. Students who do not meet the required pass grade in the Year 12 end of year examinations will not be permitted to progress into Year 13.

 

History A Level is now a two year linear course and will be assessed at the end of the two years with three examination units and one coursework unit.  There will be no option for students to sit the AS qualification - we are no longer offering AS courses and all History courses last two years.
