Key Stage 3: The intellectual powerhouse of the secondary school
In Ofsted’s history report of July 2023 ‘Rich encounters with the past: history subject report’ they reported that:
‘In the best schools, pupils developed rich and connected knowledge of the past. In others, pupils’ knowledge of history was disconnected or superficial, or there were significant gaps. In most schools, pupils had misconceptions about how historians and others study the past and construct their accounts.’
KS3: The Ambitious Years sets out to address these findings through repositioning KS3 as the ‘intellectual powerhouse’ of the secondary school.
To make this shift, I am creating planning units which embed the research. Starting with history in Year 7, I’ve created teaching resources and pupil booklets which have high quality texts at their heart.
I’ll be releasing the first draft on Tuesday 20th May 4-5pm on Myatt & Co. Access with a single annual or group subscription.
