Marking to get through, a scheme of work to update, and a cover lesson still to sort for next week — sound familiar?

Throughout History gives your department narrated GCSE History lessons and detailed revision guides, built to the Edexcel specification. Something genuinely useful for students to work through, whether you're in the room or not.

It works just as well for cover lessons and independent study as it does for revision, and it means every pupil has the same clear, structured resource behind them.

School subscriptions start from £299 a year for all of Years 10 and 11, including every member of teaching staff.

On this day in 1920, a powerful bomb detonated in the heart of New York City’s financial district.

At around midday, a horse-drawn wagon stopped outside the headquarters of J.P. Morgan & Co. on Wall Street. Hidden inside were around 100 pounds of dynamite, packed alongside hundreds of heavy iron weights designed to act as shrapnel.

The explosion tore through the crowded street, killing 38 people and injuring hundreds more. Buildings were damaged, windows shattered and Wall Street was thrown into chaos.

Investigators believed the attack was probably carried out by Italian anarchists, possibly followers of Luigi Galleani, amid a period of intense political violence in the United States.

Despite a major investigation, nobody was ever charged and the identity of those responsible remains unproven.

On this day in 1936, the last known thylacine, known as Benjamin, died alone in Hobart Zoo, Tasmania.

Within decades of European settlement, hunting, habitat loss and government bounties had wiped out an animal that had roamed Australia and Tasmania for millions of years. By the time anyone thought to protect the species, it was already too late.

The saddest part was that legal protection for the Tasmanian tiger was introduced just 59 days before he died. A reminder of how quickly history can turn, and how permanent some losses are.

History isn’t only the study of people and the evolution of society, but the story of all that we’ve lost too.

When Norman Foster began restoring the Reichstag in 1995, his team stripped away decades of plasterboard and paint - and found something extraordinary underneath. Soviet soldiers had covered the walls in pencil and charcoal in May 1945: their names, their hometowns, the date they'd reached Berlin.

Foster could have plastered over it again. Instead, he chose to keep it, working with Berlin's own conservation office, the Bundestag's building committee and the Russian Embassy to decide what should stay and how.

The surviving graffiti was framed and set apart from the new building work with a small shadow gap, so you can see exactly where history ends and the restoration begins.

It wasn't a decision everyone agreed on, either. In 2002, the Bundestag voted on whether to remove some of the writing - and the majority chose to keep it.

Thirty years on, it's still there: not vandalism, but one of the most direct, human records of the war's end that exists anywhere.

On the morning of 6 June 1944, two simple words crackled over the radio: “Ham” and “Jam.”

They weren’t a breakfast order. They were confirmation that Major John Howard’s glider troops had captured the bridges over the Caen Canal and the River Orne intact — “Ham” for the canal bridge, later renamed Pegasus Bridge, and “Jam” for the river bridge.

These two decisive operations were won within 90 minutes of landing, in the very first hours of D-Day, and kept the invasion’s eastern flank secure while the beach landings began.

A small codeword, a huge moment in history.

On the 3rd of August 1948, a Time magazine editor named Whittaker Chambers sat before Congress and accused a senior State Department official, Alger Hiss, of once being a Soviet spy.

It’s often overshadowed by the Cold War’s bigger set pieces — Berlin, Cuba, the Wall — but the Hiss case did as much as anything to fuel the anti-Communist panic that defined 1950s America.

Hiss denied it under oath and was later convicted of perjury; a young congressman on the committee that questioned him, Richard Nixon, built his early career on the case.

Decades later, declassified Soviet paperwork suggested that Chambers had been telling the truth all along.

A reminder that some of the Cold War’s most consequential moments played out not in revolutions, but in committee rooms.

New from Throughout History: The Withdrawal Begins.

This excerpt is from our latest course covering the Vietnam War, and forms a part of the Edexcel GCSE History collection. It picks up at one of the more overlooked turning points: the start of US troop withdrawal, when a war that had escalated for years began, slowly and unevenly, to wind down.

Like every Throughout History course, it's created using broadcast-quality footage, built to match the Edexcel specification, and designed to work equally well in the classroom or for independent revision.

If you teach Edexcel GCSE History, school subscriptions start from just £299 a year and cover every student and teacher across Years 10 and 11.

On the 29th of July 1921, Adolf Hi**er became leader of the NSDAP. He'd joined the party two years earlier, when it was a small, unremarkable group of Munich nationalists still called the German Workers' Party.

What set Hi**er apart was his skill as an orator and his grip on propaganda, and by the summer of 1921 he knew it.

When a rival faction tried to sideline him, he resigned in protest, then agreed to come back only if he was handed near total control of the party. The committee caved, and from that day, the NSDAP was shaped around one man, not a shared political vision.

It's a small, procedural moment, but it marks the point at which a fringe party turned into a personality cult, and where the Weimar and N**i Germany story really starts to build towards 1933.
