Delivering an ambitious, knowledge-rich, and global KS3 History curriculum is essential to developing pupils' knowledge of the past, building their skills, and equipping them to progress through to GCSE 9-1 History. A coherent and chronological KS3 history curriculum with 50 knowledge-rich lessons on medieval 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 skills to investigate the past as historians. By focusing on the knowledge they need and then checking their understanding, students can think critically about the past.

The curriculum should also build secure positive identities and cultural capital with culturally and geographically diverse coverage, including five new global history units for the 2nd edition. This will help students to develop a broader understanding of the world and their place in it.

To support pupils' long-term learning, the curriculum should include knowledge organisers on key vocabulary, people, places, and dates. This will help students to organise and remember the information they have learned and put it into context with a full timeline covering the broad geographical scope of the period studied.

The curriculum is easy to implement in your school 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 and sources, quick quizzes, answers, and essay ideas. This will help teachers to deliver excellent lessons and save time on their planning.

The curriculum covers a range of topics, including Anglo-Saxon England, Normal England, Medieval Life, Medieval Kingship, Late Medieval England, The Islamic World, The Crusades, Medieval African Kingdoms, Imperial China, and The Mongols. Each unit is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of the period studied and to develop their skills as historians.

By delivering an ambitious, knowledge-rich, and global KS3 History curriculum, we can help students to develop the skills they need to succeed in their future studies and to become informed and engaged citizens.
