OCR GCSE History A: The Making of the Modern World

Our approach to the History curriculum

The study of History will bring our pupils into a rich dialogue with the past and with the traditions of historical enquiry. History and the changing accounts of the past have shaped the identities of diverse peoples, groups and nations. Through their studies our pupils will come to understand their place in the world and the long story of human development.
