History resources
The resources are created for a specific exam board, rather than the generic books currently in the market.
Most of the resources include an extensive set of notes, specific to the exam board with relevant exercises to reinforce knowledge and understanding in addition to exam style questions.
Our format lays out information in a specific way allowing students to easily access the information they need when , is linked to the exam questions e.g. causes and consequences.
Furthermore for many topics we have included a list of recommended media, including our own youtube channel: GCSE History.
The combination of resources and the website should provide all the materials needed for successful, challenging lessons.
