I agree with most of the points mentioned- the list reads like a badly remembered version of someone's personal and hazy knowledge of "history what I have done" up to A level!
What concerns me is that there is no choice for teachers, as in the previous curricula, no depth, and inevitably will have an impact, as Emma says, on teaching methods to cover the content as KS2 and KS3. (Not to say extremely biased!) Quite frankly it is a recipe to ensure as few students as possible take up History at GCSE!
As a body we need to respond- how should we do that? Is GEM setting up a questionnaire on-line?
