Accessible History resources for secondary age students of all abilities but with lots of challenge too - differentiation from the top-down.
All resources created by an experienced HoD at a 11-18 non-selective secondary school.
Aiming for fair prices - costs reflect the effort behind the resource. For everything with a price tag there should be a free resource on the same topic or theme to show the standard / style etc before you buy. Hope this makes sense.

A GCSE History revision or mapping sheet for Origins of the Cold War, 1945-1960.
The worksheet clearly 'maps out' what students need to understand in preparation for their exams. The content is presented in short bullet-points/statements that students can be tested against.
The content and key vocabulary is also differentiated - the statements start at 'one star' and become progressively harder - 'four star'. No attempt has been made to link content or concepts to grades - the revision sheet just tries to push students towards considering the key events in more detail and depth.
The revision sheet is great for a variety of AFL activities:
- Test students on the unit's key vocabulary / people / events.
- RAG rate bullet-points to identify issues that require further study.
- Form the basis of peer or group revision activities.
Suitable for many specifications including:
- AQA GCSE History: Conflict and tension between East and West, 1945–1972 (an option in Section B of Paper 1 - Wider world depth studies).
- Edexcel GCSE History: Superpower relations and the Cold War, 1941–91 (an option in Paper 2 - Period studies)
- OCR GCSE History A - Explaining the Modern World: The Cold War 1945-c.1989 (a key topic within the compulsory component International Relations: the changing international order 1918–2001).
Finally, from experience, the sheet does work. Students appreciate a one page summary of what to revise and what they need to know if they want to approach their exam with confidence.
