New government, new curriculum review. It always happens when there is a big change in who is in charge. But just because it always happens doesn’t mean we can ignore it. Ten years ago, substantial changes were made to education, and they have affected a whole generation of children and teachers.

The Historical Association has put together a response to the current government’s consultation, taking in feedback from our members and other key stakeholders in history education including teachers, examination boards, higher education institutions and students.  

Please read our summary response below. We will submit our final response to the Department for Education by the closing date on 22 November.
