History teaches you to ask two very important questions, how and why. This is important when you want to develop your critical thinking abilities. Historians look at all the available evidence to help them reach conclusions, helping you become more organised and manage information. Studying History will enable you to see the bigger picture.
Your school will give your parents an Options or Choices information booklet, which has detailed information on the curriculum and the individual subjects or courses you can study. It will also invite them along to a Parents’ Information Evening.
