Indeed, that is the whole point of the national curriculum. I have a niece, who lives at the other end of the country and Flyboy10 and her had quite a discussion on the subject sometime ago, as she was studying the same subject, at the same time.

As far as I am aware, it never has been compulsory after, what is now, year ten. When I was in the third form we had to take our options and History was one of them. The only "core" subjects back then were engilsh, maths and PE.
