Hello, and welcome to my resource shop.
I aim to create original resources for KS3, GCSE and AS/A2.
I also aim to provide resources on the less obvious, mainstream topics and bring in elements of the LNF.
I have 20 years experience as a History teacher, and 15 years as HoD.
Have a look around and grab a bargain! 😄

This is a generic version of a GCSE Year 11 Takeaway History Homework menu. I have seen many excellent topic specific examples (e.g. Tudors or Great War etc.), but this can be used as a generic one for GCSE, and will therefore reduce photocopying costs etc.
I have also included a QR code sheet for specific rules or worksheets required for specific homework tasks found on the menu.
Pupils will need to download a free QR reader onto their phones (if they have compatible ones) from the app store to scan the codes and access these worksheets.
The Friars Rating refers to the name of my school, so you can easily adapt the word document and input your own image etc.
