KS4 History

Please see our KS4 curriculum map below (this opens in a larger window when clicked on).

 

KS4 students follow the Pearson Edexecel History course. Students study a thematic study of Crime and Punishment with an historic environmental study of Whitechapel. They then study a British Depth study of Elizabeth and a period study on Super Power Relations, 1941-91. Finally, students complete a depth study of Weimar and Nazi Germany 1918-39. Students will be taught the range of exam skills required and will develop their skills of source and interpretation analysis.

Homework: In History, students are set a variety of tasks for homework every week. These will include learning key vocabulary and definitions, revising core knowledge, and completing practice exam questions.
