Content

  • In the September block we will be looking at:- Elizabethan England, c1568–1603. This block builds upon the final block of AQA GCSE History year 1, where we started the Elizabethan topic. GCSE History is an engaging and challenging subject that is both interesting and useful for building skills such as: analysis, evaluation and written communication. We begin the second year of our course with continuing our study of Elizabeth I's rule. We will consider the unique difficulties she faced as a female ruler in the late 1500s, such as her relationship with parliament, rebellions, marriage and the issue of succession.

  • We will move on to study life in Elizabethan times with themes such as exploration and voyages, the rise of the gentry, fashion and theatre and finally the rise of poverty. LO1: To explain the difficulties that Elizabeth I faced as a female ruler. LO2: To evaluate the claim that Elizabeth I had lost authority over England in the latter part of her reign. LO3: To describe the features of life in Elizabethan times with specific and accurate historical knowledge. LO4: To analyse the causes of rising poverty in Elizabethan England and the government response to it.

GCSE History Tutor

Hello, I am Lily, the GCSE History teacher in the hub. I studied History at York University and my PGCE at Sussex, where I taught for 5 years full time in secondary schools. I have worked in three schools and taught History at KS3, GCSE and A-level. I have also mentored trainee and NQT teachers, and been awarded Specialist Leader of Education status for my work in primary History curriculums. Since relocating to North Yorkshire in 2020, and having my daughter, I have left the mainstream school setting and now teach online. As well as the History GCSE in the hub, I tutor GCSE and A-level History students. I am really passionate about making History a creative and rigorous discipline, full of debate and discussion. Students who study History at GCSE level and beyond should leave with a vast array of skills in handling sources and interpretations; analysing and evaluating opinions and texts; and crafting arguments. I aim to build students’ confidence and love for the subject by focusing on the human experience of the past, and also the many parallels and contrasts with the present. I thoroughly enjoy teaching the GCSE History groups in the hub and feel lucky to be part of such a positive educational space.

Holly, Parent

“Our family are full time travellers and the hub is a life line for us. The children get to see and speak to adults who show a real interest in their learning and their lives. They get to pick lessons that they are interested in and have fun learning something new. The social hub was a real life line for us too. My 3 have made friends and love getting to chat to children and adults daily too. ”

“I can’t thank you enough for starting this group Amy. You gave me back my happy (not so little anymore) boy. Thanks to this group he’s realised he’s not the stupid, naughty kid that school made him believe he was. His sister is on school holidays and he’s doing recorded lessons by choice. Xxxx ”
