✅ Manageable content – the OCR GCSE History B course was developed in partnership with the Schools History Project. The five different elements of the course are each designed to be taught in a term.
✅ Consistent assessment – assessment is consistent across the British and World History papers, minimising the number of question stems, making the development of exam skills easier for you and your students.
✅ Fixed site study – the choice of the History Around Us site study is down to the school and can be the same every year. It can be an opportunity to study local history, or something further afield.
