I completely agree with Amanda, these people have clearly never seen what
truly inspires children when they are engaging with history and what museums
do best.REAL experiences rather than learning a list of facts and figures!

There's always room for a breath of fresh air, which I would have welcomed
if it were coherent.  What a real shame.

I wonder if the person who wrote this has ever met a child?  I have only
looked at the History section but it seems that it's an impossible ask to
deliver that an for children to make sense of it.

I presume it isn't only me who glanced over that document and wondered how
on earth teachers are going to cover the quantity of KS2 stuff in any
meaningful way.

 

And how well 6-7 year olds (KS1) are actually going to be able to cope with
'concepts such as civilisation, monarchy, parliament, democracy, and war and
peace that are essential to understanding history'

History may not be compulsory, but the reorganisation of how it should be
taught up to KS3 in a chronological order opens new potential all round, not
only for the subjects we are used to promoting but also new historical
periods.

Thanks for sending this out to everyone Liz. Sadly no compulsory history for
14-16 year olds. 

 

Museums should especially note - no Victorians at KS2!! and hopefully the
six wives could be finally put to rest as well ...

all National Curriculum subjects in Key Stages 1 to 3, and draft programmes
