What will the E-Bacc mean for you?
With the introduction of the E-bacc things may be about to change. The E-bacc is likely to impact on teaching time at Key Stage 3 and GCSE uptake for history. There is a real opportunity here for history in your school. Subject specific CPD is the key to raising performance; and the E-Bacc provides you with an opportunity to argue history's case to senior managers.
