Learners struggling to access GCSE?
Learners struggling at GCSE may find AQA’s Unit Award Scheme (UAS) offers more opportunities for achievement. The scheme is based around learners completing short units which directly map to AQA’s History GCSE.
History community
The History community offers a comprehensive range of free-of-charge resources to teachers and learners.
Textbooks (print and digital)
We're collaborating closely with publishers to ensure that you have textbooks to support you and your students with the new History GCSE and AS and A-level specifications. Once the books have completed the AQA approval processes they will be badged ‘AQA approved’.
