History in Years 7-9 Key Stage 3 Programme of Study According to History in the National Curriculum, produced by the DFEE: Pupils should be taught about changes in the economy, society, culture and political structure of Britain from the early Middle Ages to the twentieth century. They should be taught about aspects of European and non-European history, and to make links and connections between historical events and changes in the different periods and areas studied. They should be given opportunities to use their historical knowledge to evaluate and use sources of information, and to construct narratives, descriptions and explanations of historical events and developments.
The Key Elements are closely related and should be developed through the Study Units, as appropriate. Not all the Key Elements need to be developed in each Study Unit.
At Barnard Castle School we aim to ‘shadow’ the NC Study Units. Across Key Stage 3, we cover five of the six which are specified; time constraints mean that it is not possible to examine fully Study Unit 6 - A past non-European society. The following broad outline illustrates those units which we do cover:
