GCSE History
In Years 10 and 11 we follow the OCR GCSE Modern World course.
The course is designed to provide an understanding of International Relations during the 20th Century as well as providing an in-depth study on Britain 1900-1918.
Topics covered are: The Inter-War years (1919-39), including the Treaty of Versailles, The League of Nations, and the Causes of World War Two. Students also study the origins of the Cold War, as well as Cold War crises; the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War.
A depth study of USA (1918 – 1948) focuses on the “Boom and Bust” of the 1920s and 1930s in America. There is also a focus of what happens to America during WW2, and whether the country becomes more (or less!) united.
There is a breadth study that focuses on War and Society, looking at how 1000+ years of conflict have shaped our nation. In addition, we have a focus on the period 1629-1660 where we look at how England breaks into Civil War, operates as a republic, before restoring the monarchy.
With such a range of topics and historical eras, it is hoped that you will develop a personal curiosity about the past and an understanding of how the world we live in has been created by past events. We are sure you will find the course not only fulfilling but also enjoyable, which should ensure your success in the subject.
