DS assessment has come through, and he has fallen from attainment 2 to 5 in History and Geography. He struggles with King John and the Battle of Hastings in particular. Are there any good resources I can find to help him revise?

He also blames Physics for his grades dropping in science.

For all of these subjects, at Y7 level, I think the BBC bitesize KS3 website is helpful.

Also CGP KS3 revision guides can be useful.

I think we may go to Hastings and Battle this weekend actually.
He has spent part of today on Bitesize, which is good.

I have a hard time understanding the grading system too, but I do know that they go from 5 at the bottom to 1 which is the top score!

The assessment was for work done between Christmas and now, which included review of submitted work, prep, and also topic tests.

A visit to Battle itself might be useful. What did the assessment involve , was it a narrative or extract question ?

Bbc bitesize is ok

I don't understand the gradings you mention as they are non-standard, but is it learning facts that is the problem or the actual skills for History.
eg Point Evidence Explain, talking about source bias and accuracy?
