What teachers say about SHP History...

"...this is the most exciting book I have ever seen – it picks up everything that was good before and moves it on. And it will save us so much work – it is just what we would have wanted to produce ourselves but we’d never have found the time to do it to this standard!"
Dr Barbara Hibbert, Head of History, Harrogate Grammar School

"Delivering the new KS3 programme of study has just got a whole lot easier – and better!"
Mr D Bartlett, History Teacher, Longbenton Community College

A Pupil's Book per year provides the core material
The same material (plus mini and maxi-activities, and the lesson builder facility) is available in digital format on the Dynamic Learning Network Edition CD-ROM
The printed Teacher's Resource Book provides lesson plans and resource sheets per year
The thematic stories specified in the National Curriculum are built explicitly across KS3
At the end of each unit, the 'Big Story' page summarises or asks pupils to summarise the key developments in the relevant strand later in KS3
History skills and processes are also developed steadily year by year and the 'Doing History' feature allows pupils to reflect on their own learning
