The study of history is not just a journey into the past but an investigation into the world today. Our history is a collection of stories – the good, the bad, the rich, the poor and the everyday person. Through close study and analysis, we can get a sense of who we are as a society and how we came to be. History allows us to foretell what is to come.

The IGCSE Edexcel course is a fascinating modern history study spanning the world of war, medicine and civil rights. The Edexcel 4HI1 IGCSE Course is split into two papers:

Paper 1 IGCSE History – Wednesdays 1 pm & Monday 12pm

Paper 1 – there are 2 depth studies to complete, however, to allow for choice and develop knowledge we will study 3.

Term 1) Germany: Development of Dictatorship 1918 – 45

Term 2) A Divided Union: Civil Rights in USA 1945 – 74

Term3) A Word Divided: Superpower relations 1943 – 72

Paper 2 IGCSE History – Thursday 2pm

Paper 2 – there is 1 investigation and 1 breadth studies to complete, however, to allow for choice and deepen knowledge we will study 2 breadth studies.

Term 1) The origins of WW1 1905- 18

Term 2) Changes in medicine 1848 – 1948

Term3) The changing nature of warfare and international conflict 1919 – 2011

Students wishing to cover all topics to take the examination within one year can join both IGCSE History lessons each week. Those who want to continue to study over two years should choose one class for the first year and switch to the other in the second year.

Unlike all our other course, the price for IGCSE is £5.00 +VAT a week per student to reflect the amount of work the teacher will need to do to successfully guide you through your IGCSE. All marking and feedback is included in the price. You will be expected to do 1 – 2 hours of independent work each week.

Due to some of its themes and content of this course, the age for this class is 14 – 16. If your child is younger than 14 but you would like them to study this course, please make sure that you are aware of the content and either watch the recordings before your child watches them or watch the lessons with your child to ensure that you are happy with the content and can talk it through with your child.

Please note:

If a class with exactly the same name is on more than once a week it is a repeat lesson with the same content. As places are limited and so you don’t have duplicate lessons please only sign up for the one class per week. This will leave spaces for other customers and stop any additional cost to yourself as we will be unable to give a refund.

On occasions we may have to change the day or time of a course or on rare occasions the course is cancelled. This maybe due to a teacher leaving or low numbers. We do try to do this only when absolutely necessary and will always give advance warning and try to offer an alternative for you.

Standard classes are £3 and numbers are limited to 40. Smaller classes (e.g. GCSE) are £6 are per student and classes are kept smaller at 25 maximum. If there is more than 1 child joining a £6 class you need to make sure you have added the correct amount to your basket. We reserve the right to ask for back payments if this does not happen.

For safeguarding purposes, every Zoom lesson includes a brief visual registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on and their correct name (the one used on their LLP child profile) displayed on Zoom. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange a password for them to use instead.

We are now offering some courses as pre recorded lessons in topic blocks on llpextralearningspace.co.uk This then allows you to buy previous lessons in topic packs either for revision purposes or to do a topic yourselves. We recognise that this will have some issues for those that do not wish to be on camera so the new format of the class is that the visual register and any informal discussions happen before and after the lesson itself is recorded. The teachers will all have their settings set to speaker view so that the thumbnail of whoever is speaking will only be highlighted when or if they speak. If you do not want your child to appear in the recording it is your responsibility to ensure the camera is switched off after the visual register unless they have an agreed password then it can remain switched off at all times.
