A-Level combination

HGL

History, Geography and Literature - for the ones who argue well.

The combination behind law, journalism, diplomacy and teaching. It rewards students who can read closely, structure an argument and write it down clearly under time pressure - all three of which we teach as skills rather than assume.

What you will learn

  • History, with the essay technique that carries the marks
  • Geography, physical and human, including fieldwork
  • Literature in English, close reading and criticism
  • Writing to time, drilled on real past papers
