Content

  • Britain: Health and the People: c1000 to the Present Day

    Block 9

    This is the 9th block in a two year (11 block) GCSE History course. This block will build on the previous block where the topic 'Health and the People' was introduced.

    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 continue the second year of our course this block with our final topic: Britain: Health the People: c1000 to the present day.

    This course is about breadth, studying change over time through a theme.

    The theme we will be studying is 'health' with a focus on Britain over time.

    As part of the theme 'health' we will study beliefs about illness and health, cures and remedies, knowledge and understanding, the role of institutions such as the Church and government.

    Additionally, we will consider the impact of factors such as industrialisation, war and the role of the individual.

  • Course Objectives:

    L01: To explain the beliefs, reaction and impact of the Black Death in 1348.

    L02: To analyse the key features of the Renaissance and the impact it had on medical understanding in Europe, with a focus on the work of Vesalius, Harvey and Pare.

    L03: To explain the events of the Plague outbreak in 1665 and compare this to the Black Death. What were the similarities and differences?

    L04: To describe the achievements of John Hunter and Edward Jenner and their contributions to the training of doctors and fight against disease.

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.
