GCSE History

Introduction

Welcome to the page to support you in your GCSE History examinations! You will find here links and resources that will ensure you are prepared as best as possible for your summer exams. If you need any specific help with a resource, or need pointing in the right direction you can contact your class teacher via email, and they will be happy to point you in the right direction. 

Every year at HDHS, and across the country, there is a clear link between those students who access and exploit out of class resources, and those that get the very highest grades. This site should assist you with the "little and often" approach, which will give you a great foundation to get the very best grades you can. 

If you need anything else during the course of your GCSE, don't be afraid to ask.
