Pearson Edexcel GCSEs Teaching support
Teaching support
We're here to provide you with the extensive support you need to plan and implement GCSE (9-1) History successfully.
Following a successful pilot with The Dean Trust, our new Mocks service will provide schools with Pearson Edexcel GCSE and A level exam papers for use in mock examinations. The papers are sat by students and marked by either Pearson examiners or the school teaching staff, with the results and item level analysis being made available via ResultsPlus.
