Think more deeply and work more independently at A level History through a carefully thought-out enquiry approach from SHP.

Enquiring History: It makes you think!

The OFSTED report on school history suggests that the current generation of A Level students have been poorly served by exam-based textbooks which spoon-feed students while failing to enthuse them or develop deeper understanding of History.

The Schools History Project has risen to this challenge with a new series for the next generation. Enquiring History is SHP's fresh approach to Advanced Level History that aims:

• To motivate and engage readers
• To help readers think and gain independence as learners
• To encourage enquiry, and deeper understanding of periods and the people of the past
• To engage with current scholarship
• To prepare A Level students for university
