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 curriculum with 50 knowledge-rich lessons on modern world history is key to sparking pupils' curiosity, developing their understanding of the past, and equipping them to investigate the past as historians.

To achieve this, the curriculum should focus on memorable and compelling narratives, rich contextual detail, and extraordinary people. It should also help all students think critically about the past by focusing on the knowledge they need and then checking their understanding. Building secure positive identities and cultural capital with culturally and geographically diverse coverage, including five new global history units for the 2nd edition, is also important.

The curriculum should be easy to implement in schools with a 10-unit/5-chapter structure and an 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 broad geographical scope, including the British Empire, the Transatlantic trade of enslaved people, the Industrial Revolution, the Age of Reform, the Victorian Empire, the Birth of the USA, the French Revolution, Nineteenth-century Europe, Qing China, and Global Imperialism. Each unit provides pupils with a deep understanding of the period studied and encourages them to think critically about the key events, people, and ideas that shaped the world.

By delivering an ambitious, knowledge-rich, and global KS3 History curriculum, schools can help their pupils develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their academic and personal lives.
