KS4: Year 10 to 11 Students should use the past exam questions in their revision guides from school to practise planning questions. This is a good way to review work that they’ve studied that week. The purple Revise Edexcel GCSE (9-1) History revision guides and revision cards are also very useful, as is the bitesize revision website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/examspecs/zw4bv4j Reading around the subject is an excellent way to deepen your knowledge and feed your passion for History:

If you missed any of the work we did during the lockdown, remember that the recordings of the lessons are on Teams.
