The history and geography teams at Pearson are dedicated to inspiring and developing historians and geographers of the future.
We encourage learners to develop the skills they need to understand and interrogate the world around them, so that they become well-rounded global citizens of tomorrow, leading to positive outcomes for their future careers.
