Students follow the Edexcel GCSE in History 9-1 which comprises three externally examined papers. In Year 9/10 students prepare for Paper One (Thematic Study and Historic Environment- Crime and Punishment through Time c 1000-present and Whitechapel 1870-1900) and Paper Two (British Depth Study – Early Elizabethan England

We aim to finish the taught content of all three papers by February half term of Y11 to allow for intensive revision before the June examination series.
