If you are already teaching History B you can compare current and revised specifications on the What are the changes? page.
Our new specification focuses on the turbulent history of the twentieth century, its key events, people, changes and issues. Viewing history from both a national and global perspective, students will learn about international relations, global conflict and the political development of key countries, and take a detailed look at changes in British society.
