Skilfully assess pupils' knowledge and skills, providing evidence of their achievement as they progress through the Understanding History course and build towards GCSE.

> Monitor pupils' progress in their written work. Indicative answers for the end-of-enquiry assessment tasks in the Student Book are annotated to show the features of a strong response and can be shared with pupils for peer/self-assessment

> Check pupils' understanding regularly and flexibly. A baseline assessment, half-termly written tests and a bank of 600 knowledge check questions provide formative and summative assessment opportunities

> Prepare students for the requirements of your GCSE specification. GCSE skills sheets based on the Student Book target specific skills that are assessed under the Pearson Edexcel, AQA and OCR B specifications
