News and insights 

  • Our new draft specification for Edexcel GCSE History

    On 7 April 2015, we published our new, draft specification for Edexcel History GCSE, to be taught in schools from September 2016.

    Pearson will be offering a single, unified specification, designed to offer maximum topic choice and flexibility for teachers across three exam papers.

    The new course will include topics that teachers will know and recognise to choose from, such as ‘Russia and the Soviet Union (1917-41)’, ‘Weimar and Nazi Germany (1918-39) and ‘The American West, c1835-c1895’, as well as new topics, including:

    • Spain and the ‘New World’ (1490-1555)
    • British America: Empire and Revolution (1713-83)
    • Conflict in the Middle East (1945-95)
    • The reigns of King Richard I and King John (1189-1216).

    The new requirement for a study of the ‘historic environment’ has been embedded within the thematic studies paper, so teachers can choose from:

    • Victorian London’s East End, under ‘Whitechapel: crime and policing (1870-1900)’ in the Crime and Punishment through time thematic study
    • Conditions in which the British wounded were cared for on the Western Front, under ‘The British sector of the Western Front: surgery and treatment (1914-18)’ in the Medicine through time thematic study
    • Life in London during the Blitz, under ‘London and the Second World War (1939-45)’ in the Warfare through time thematic study.
  • Pearson joins online resource for students who need help to read standard print

    Students with sight loss or dyslexia will benefit from text and reading books being made available in accessible formats through a free online service.

    Pearson has teamed up with Load2Learn, a web-based service delivered by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and Dyslexia Action, to offer access to its titles for UK schools and colleges in alternative formats.

    Pearson is making thousands of its books available, across Early Years, all Key Stages, GCSE, A-level and BTEC. As well as PDFs, Load2Learn offers a means to access the most popular titles in Word, EPUB, audio and Braille. Teachers can now access texts within hours rather than days, saving time and allowing staff more opportunity to support students in their learning.
