Supporting High Achievement and Transition to Higher Education Through History Virtual Academies

It is frequently observed that AS and A2 history and university history are increasingly disconnected and that "links between schools and higher education are no longer as strong as they once were" (Institute of Historical Research 2005). This project aims to make a modest contribution to the strengthening of links between these two areas of history education and the project exemplifies and reflects upon one way in which this outcome might be achieved.
