History

You are now able to have your say and submit your feedback in response to a joint consultation published by Ofqual and the DfE, on proposed changes to the assessment of GCSEs, AS and A levels in 2022.

We are pleased to announce that as part of our shared commitment to ending racial inequality in the classroom, Pearson and education social enterprise The Black Curriculum are working together to help increase Black British history being taught in schools. This partnership will draw on The Black Curriculum’s extensive expertise in supporting schools to deliver accessible Black British history curricula.

We are delighted to announce the addition of a brand-new topic, Diversity, rights and equality in Britain, 1914-2010, to the Edexcel International GCSE History (9-1) specification, as part of our commitment to building a more inclusive and diverse History curriculum.

We have made some amendments to the GCSE History specification which apply for first assessment Summer 2022. Issue 3 of the specification is now available to download on the qualification page. This update contains information about the amendments to the specification.
