| Summary: | At Orleans Park School in Twickenham, 80% of pupils taking GCSE History obtained A* - C results, with half achieving an A or A* in 2007. The programme explores the strategies that Fiona Osborn, Head of History, and her team are following to help their students achieve these excellent results. We follow three members of the history department as they plan and design the lesson resources required for a new GCSE unit of work on German Resistance to the Nazis. The three teachers then deliver the lesson and adapt it to the different ability levels in their classes. Fiona believes much of the department's success is down to its strong stable team of specialist teachers sharing their resources. She also believes that the students enjoyment of the subject is key - twice as many students opt to take GCSE history at Orleans Park than the national average take up of only 30%. |
