Individual revision is the key to success at GCSE. It is crucial that each student follows an organised programme of revision out of school in preparation for the examination periods. This page provides some general information to support revision and details of what to revise for each subject. Content will be added from time to time so do re-visit.

History
Year 11 will be sitting two mock exams in November: Paper One (2 hours) will cover ‘USA 1920-73’ and ‘Conflict and Tension (The Cold War) 1945- 72’. Paper Two will be a shortened version, with students sitting a 1 hour paper on ‘Health and the People’ . All students will be issued a school produced pack for each unit with revision sheets, activities and practice questions. These can be used alongside their exercise books and their external revision guides- links to these revision guides are on the mock prep guide below. We would also like to encourage students to actively use the resources on our History GCSE Google Classroom, which they were added to in the summer term of Year 10. Please see links below:
