Your Coursebook and Resources

Wolsey Hall offers a unique model of offline and online resources to our homeschooling students – a model which we have developed based on our many years’ experience of providing home schooling courses to students.

Coursebook

Each subject specialist team carefully selects the best coursebook from which you will study. The coursebook for your History course is:

  • Cambridge IGCSE and O Level History Option: The 20th Century, by Ben Walsh, (Hodder Education, 3rd Edition, 2022); ISBN: 9781398375055

The book gives an excellent insight into the 20th Century Core Content and the chosen depth study. It also includes additional source practice and exam advice including model answers.
