At Key Stage 3, pupils find out about the history of their community, Britain, Europe and the wider world. They build their chronological understanding so connections within and across different historical periods and societies can be made. Pupils relate past events to the present day.
During Key Stage 3, pupils continue to ask and answer questions using a range of sources . They evaluate evidence, examine different interpretations and arrive at their own judgements.
The curriculum encourages pupils to understand the experiences of men, women and children in the past in terms of cultural, ethnic and religious diversity. Pupils analyse cause and consequences of historical events along with the significance of these in the present day. In this section, there are resources on the Holocaust and slavery. These are powerful European and world historical events that can directly support pupils moving towards the curricular aims at Key Stage 3.
Other resources in this section support the teaching of British History, enabling the histories of people within the British Isles to be examined by pupils. These can be incorporated into current schemes of work.
