Our new GCSE History specification combines the most popular topics from our existing specifications, so you can still teach well-established periods of history as well as some exciting new topics. It builds on the skills and topics at Key Stage 3, and will help develop essential skills for further study.
With no prohibited combinations, our new specification gives you the flexibility and freedom to create your own route through the course.
You will be supported with resources at every stage and by our dedicated History team.
