Revision guide and revision resources for AQA GCSE History: Britain: Power and the People: c1170 to the Present Day - Challenging Royal Authority. The resources are also suitable for Edexcel, OCR, WJEC GCSE History and iGCSE History.
The topics considered are:
• Popular uprisings against the Crown: the social, economic, religious and political causes of the Pilgrimage of Grace; the implications for royal authority; Henry VIII and his government’s reaction and the impact of the uprising.
• Divine Right and parliamentary authority: the causes of the English Revolution; the New Model Army and the development of political radicalism during the Civil War era; the short and long-term impact of the English Revolution, including the significance of trial and execution of Charles I and Oliver Cromwell and the Commonwealth.
• Royal authority and the right to representation: the causes of the American Revolution including the relationship between the government and people; impact and significance of the American Revolution.
The resources that I have created have helped my GCSE History classes to sustain outstanding results over a period of time:
2022 P8: +0.88 and +0.81
2021 P8: +1.42
2020 P8: +0.47
2019 P8: +0.57
My GCSE History classes have also consistently attained the most Grade 9s in any subject and/or class at my current school of over 1300 students.
In addition, this specific specification’s outcomes - Shaping the Nation - Section A: Thematic studies - are consistently above the national average according to AQA Enhanced Results Analysis.
I have worked for the examination boards for over 10 years and considering the recent developments within education, my resources are constantly amended and updated for students studying GCSE History. I have utilised feedback from students, fellow professionals, experienced colleagues and have used my own professional judgement to ensure that each resource will help you to teach quality history lessons to ensure that each student achieves their personal best.
I am proud that I am a ‘Gold’ TES Author, and this is recognised by the fact that my resources have been downloaded over half a million times by educators throughout the world.
