Do you enjoy thinking critically? Are you able to argue differing viewpoints knowing that there is not always a right answer? If the answer to these questions is yes, then History is for you. History lessons aim to encourage you to ask questions and engage in the study of the past in order to think independently and reach your own opinions. You will develop the ability to critically evaluate evidence in order to structure a supported argument. You will also have the opportunity to complete independent research to write your own investigation, which is excellent preparation for studies at University.
