Ben Newmark GCSE history has always been the equivalent of sprinting a marathon. Huge content range, not enough time & if you don’t literally tell the pupils the stuff they’ll probably fail as an obscure question inevitably will come up. Challenging

Want to …

Haemorrhage staff

Make kids feel unsafe

Lose numbers on roll

Oracy….

Let’s not be fooled, it’s not new.
