The study of history is not just a journey into the past but an investigation into the world today. Our history is a collection of stories – the good, the bad, the rich, the poor and the everyday person. Through close study and analysis, we can get a sense of who we are as a society and how we came to be. History allows us to foretell what is to come.
The IGCSE Edexcel course is a fascinating modern history study spanning the world of war, medicine and civil rights. The Edexcel 4HI1 IGCSE Course is split into two papers:
Paper 1 IGCSE History – Wednesdays 1 pm & Monday 12pm
Paper 1 – there are 2 depth studies to complete, however, to allow for choice and develop knowledge we will study 3.
Term 1) Germany: Development of Dictatorship 1918 – 45
Term 2) A Divided Union: Civil Rights in USA 1945 – 74
Term3) A Word Divided: Superpower relations 1943 – 72
Paper 2 IGCSE History – Mondays 2pm & Thursday 2pm
Paper 2 – there is 1 investigation and 1 breadth studies to complete, however, to allow for choice and deepen knowledge we will study 2 breadth studies.
Term 1) The origins of WW1 1905- 18
Term 2) Changes in medicine 1848 – 1948
Term3) The changing nature of warfare and international conflict 1919 – 2011
Students wishing to cover all topics to take the examination within one year can join both IGCSE History lessons each week. Those who want to continue to study over two years should choose one class for the first year and switch to the other in the second year.
Unlike all our other course, the price for IGCSE is £5.00 +VAT a week per student to reflect the amount of work the teacher will need to do to successfully guide you through your IGCSE. All marking and feedback is included in the price. You will be expected to do 1 – 2 hours of independent work each week.
Due to some of its themes and content of this course, the age for this class is 14 – 16. If your child is younger than 14 but you would like them to study this course, please make sure that you are aware of the content and either watch the recordings before your child watches them or watch the lessons with your child to ensure that you are happy with the content and can talk it through with your child.
For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
