- our GCSE History network events are currently taking place online only. They give you the opportunity to share ideas and meet other teachers, as well as consider key aspects of the assessment model and develop strategies for encouraging improved achievement in your History qualifications.
- the two-hour online new to Edexcel event is an updated and condensed version of the original full-day Getting ready to teach event that supported the new specification ahead of first teaching in 2016.
