The "Heinemann History Scheme" offers an opportunity to refresh the approach to teaching at Key Stage 3. It uses sources and activities to explain complex issues and helps students think through historical concepts for themselves. The Scheme is an exact match to the QCA scheme of work. It provides students with the opportunity to study new, relevant topics, such as Hot War/Cold War and Twentieth Century Medicine. It uses questions to make students stop and think about what they have learnt, and provides opportunities for extended writing, thus ensuring a thorough grounding for the more demanding work required at GCSE and A-Level.
