Dear Nick I too like Don's suggestion that the primary curriculum should give an overview of the whole span of history covered in the curriculum, with the KS3 curriculum revisiting topics in more depth. This mirrors what happens in, for example, science teaching, (which as a science show presenter is what I'm most familliar with). When I were a lad history teaching was much as Gove would like it to be again, and this left me with the strange feeling that, because we 'did' the Tudors and Stuarts in primary school that period was somehow babyish, and that what happened then wasn't 'proper' history because it was suitable for teaching to nine year olds!
