KS3

By the end of Key Stage 3 pupils should be able to have developed a knowledge and understanding of key periods of British history. They should be developing their skills by using evidence to investigate key concepts such as causation, chronological understanding and the significance of events. They will develop their written explanations through extended written essay tasks. The KS3 curriculum is taught as part of the Amazing curriculum alongside our other Humanities subjects.
