What do the students say?

"I came to QE for the academic benefits it has to offer, as well as the history course offered, one of the most in depth, interesting and relevant courses I’ve studied."

"Real people and their lives was something I particularly enjoyed about the course! The teachers are amazing... these teachers would give their left and right arm to help you! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

"Listen to the teachers, learn the writing frame and you can't fail!"

The debates and activities made my confidence grow. The course brings together the most interesting elements so you can understand the events that shaped the world. The teachers are always there to answer questions and offer nothing but amazing support throughout, it was great.

"I could always expect a diverse range of teaching methods, whether it was debates or knowledge builders, there was always a clear effort to make sure the content we were learning was not just taught practically but also enjoyable and intriguing."

"As my only humanities subject, I always looked forward to my history lessons. It took the edge off the serious, black and white nature of science and taught me to consider interpretations adversary to my opinion - a skill that is invaluable to anyone."

"The history teachers are extremely supportive and always offer support. The content has been fascinating, especially learning in-depth about the infamous Tudor Monarchs. The history trips are also an amazing opportunity and the trip to Berlin in my second year was brilliant."

"People say that A levels are just a stepping stone. History at QE is much more than that. The lessons helped me understand history in a way I never had before, the teachers made me want to study the subject at university, the topics opened my eyes to the amazing story of humanity. I can tell you that those lessons were much more than just a stepping stone."
