Year 12

The Year 12 British Empire course studies the rise of the Empire, considering the social, economic and political motivations behind the rise and considering the impact both at home and in the Empire.

The course on Democracy and Nazism explores the challenges facing post-war Germany and encourages students not to see an inevitability in Hitler’s rise.  We consider the multiple and complex factors that resulted in the collapse of democracy in Germany.

Coursework is split between Years 12 and 13.  Students conduct their own independent historical enquiries on topics of their choice, spanning a period of 100 years and addressing the core skill of change and continuity over time.
