Delivering an ambitious, knowledge-rich, and global KS3 History curriculum is essential in developing pupils' knowledge of the past, building their skills, and equipping them to progress through to GCSE 9-1 History. A coherent and chronological curriculum with 50 knowledge-rich lessons on early modern world history is key to achieving this goal.

The curriculum should spark pupils' curiosity, develop their understanding of the past, and equip them with the tools to investigate the past as historians. By focusing on the knowledge they need and then checking their understanding, students can develop critical thinking skills and build secure positive identities and cultural capital.

Culturally and geographically diverse coverage, including five new global history units for the 2nd edition, is essential in supporting pupils' long-term learning. Knowledge organisers on key vocabulary, people, places, and dates help students to put knowledge into context and understand the broader geographical scope of the period studied.

The curriculum is easy to implement in schools with its 10 unit/5 chapter structure and overarching enquiry question per unit. The supportive Teacher Guide, available free on collins.co.uk, includes suggested activities, sources, quick quizzes, answers, and essay ideas to help teachers deliver excellent lessons and save time on their planning.

The curriculum covers a range of topics, including Henry VIII and the Reformation, the Later Tudors, the English Civil War, Commonwealth and Restoration, Georgian Britain, Renaissance Europe, the Americas, the Ottoman Empire, Mughal India, and Edo Japan. Each unit provides a comprehensive overview of the period, focusing on key events, people, and ideas.

By delivering this ambitious and knowledge-rich KS3 History curriculum, schools can help their students develop a deep understanding of the past, build their skills, and prepare them for success in GCSE 9-1 History.
