Notice to teachers concerning the error identified in the Edexcel GCSE History Medicine Paper 11 exam, sat on 18 May 2023.

This update contains useful information, news and advice for Edexcel History teachers.

We are delighted to share with you a new seven-part podcast series on the history of apartheid in South Africa which will be useful for teachers and students who do this topic in our A level History specification. The podcast was produced for the Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory and Learning by Dr Natasha Robinson and Professor William Beinart, and is hosted by history teacher Ciara McCombe.

This update is to clarify the exam arrangements for Edexcel GCSE History Paper 2 in Summer 2023, to ensure that students, teachers and exams officers have a clear understanding of how the paper will be assessed on the day of the exam.
