Engaging with AQA GCSE (91) History: Health and the people, c1000 to the present day Thematic study by Dale Banham

Trust the power of cognitive science to help students to understand more, remember more and feel more confident about their exams.

With its emphasis on narrative coherence and the reduction in content to the essentials, the Engaging with AQA GCSE History textbook for 'Health and the people' stands out from any other resources that we've seen or used

The main challenges we've faced with the specification have been the volume of content and the ambiguity of the exam board expectations. The textbook has really helped in those respects. The introduction to the period and the 'review' at the end of each part of the specification content are particularly useful.

We're using the books with all students across our GCSE cohort because the combination of illustrations, charts, diagrams and coherent text makes them so straightforward and suitable for all abilities.

-- Head of History, Beechen Cliff School
Dale's books really help students to see the wood from the trees! The layout allows students to see the big answers before the supporting details. I wish I had these books two years ago; they make the GCSE seem so much more accessible and manageable. They were worth the wait though; I can tell academic history books were used to write the precise and concise content from scratch. No cut and paste on these pages! -- Head of History, Priory School Lewes and Associate Fellow, University of Sussex
These are fantastic textbooks - they simplify the course while still covering everything effectively. I love the advice on exam questions - it clearly links in with what I would advise as an examiner and the advice is very pupil friendly. They are the best books I have seen on the new AQA GCSE. I have found them particularly useful for pupils who struggle to access some of the other books. -- History Teacher, Wilmslow High School, Cheshire
A crucial textbook for anyone teaching the AQA specification. Easily accessible and with excellent activities for pupils of all abilities. I would highly recommend all titles in the Engaging with AQA GCSE History series. -- Director of Studies: Humanities, Woldgate School, York
