GCSE History A (Explaining the Modern World) (9-1) - J410 Teaching from 2016

Make sure you’re teaching the correct specification

We currently have two versions of the History A GCSE specification on our website, so please make sure you use the right one.

The most recent version of the specification applies for students who will be assessed from 2021 onwards. We’ve withdrawn some topic options and the date range of the International Relations period study has been shortened.

We're liaising with our regulator Ofqual so we can confirm the adaptations to assessments in this subject for 2020/21. We will provide further information and detailed support as soon as we can.
